Gaya: A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team arrived in Gaya today (Dec 16, 2003) to begin the probe into the murder of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) engineer Satyendra Kumar Dubey.

The five-member CBI team led by deputy superintendent T S Mann, which arrived here from Delhi this morning, inspected the scene of the murder, official sources said.

The team met Gaya police superintendent Sanjay Singh to inquire about the circumstances of the killing and obtained the original copy of the first information report (FIR) registered by the district police.

Dubey, the project manager of NHAI at Gaya, was killed on November 27 by some unidentified assailants near the circuit house in Gaya, triggering a blame game between the Bihar Government and the Centre.

While Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Laloo Prasad Yadav alleged that Dubey was killed as the letter he had written to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee exposing the loot of public fund in the execution of the Golden Quadrilateral Project requesting that his identity be kept secret was leaked, the Union Ministry of Surface Transport and Highways contended that the murder was the result of poor law and order in the State.
