Family Alleges Pressure on CBI Probe into Former INLD Haryana Chief's Murder

Two years after the murder of former INLD Haryana president Nafe Singh Rathee, his family has expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's investigation progress. They allege that a senior Union Minister is pressuring authorities to stall arrests, despite an FIR naming nine BJP affiliates. The family claims only two minor suspects have been arrested while main assailants remain free. They warn of pursuing legal and community avenues if justice is not served.
