| As dark details of RTI activist Shehla Masood's murder slowly unravel, the role of an MLA from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Dhruv Narayan Singh, is firmly under the scanner. Mr Singh, said to be close to Ms Masood, was interrogated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for the third time on Saturday. The grilling continued for over five hours.

The legislator was also a frequent visitor at the dead activist's home, as told by her father Masood Sultan. He told NDTV that the MLA was the first person he called after he learnt that his daughter had been killed. "He just kept quiet," he recalled. "I expected him to ask for details but he did not. Then he came to the house to offer his condolences. After that he never came to meet us," he said. Ms Masood was shot dead outside her house at Koh-e-Fiza locality in Bhopal on August 16 last year when she was going to take part in protests in support of the Jan Lokpal Bill.
Mr Singh's trips to Ms Masood's home, incidentally, were being closely tracked by Ms Pervez. She allegedly stalked him;
