Jaipur: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided Congress MLA Malkhan Singh Bishnoi's Jodhpur residence on Wednesday in connection with the Bhanwari Devi case. The CBI had on Tuesday pasted a notice outside the residence of Bishnoi, who represents the Luni constituency in Rajasthan Assembly, warning him to appear before the agency at 11 am on December 14 for answering questions related to the missing case of Bhanwari Devi or face legal action.
The raid were carried out after Bishnoi failed to appear before the CBI. Tuesday's notice was the third one as Bishnoi has failed to respond to two notices issued by the CBI earlier.
The notice was, however, ripped off by his family members.
Bishnoi had not appeared before the CBI despite two summons on Saturday and Monday.
When CBI was asked about his location, its spokesperson Dharini Mishra said he is probably in Delhi undergoing some treatment.
Sources close to his family claimed Bishnoi is currently in Bangalore consulting legal experts to be able to deal with the "impending crisis" which seems to await him in the wake of arrest of his brother Paras Ram Bishnoi and Bhanwari's husband Amar Chand in connection with the case.
Moreover, summons by CBI have further consolidated his fear of arrest and he is struggling to evade these by giving different reasons.
Former Rajasthan water resources minister Mahipal Maderna, who has been sacked from the Rajasthan Cabinet, and three others have also been arrested in the case.
Bhanwari Devi, an auxiliary nurse, went missing from Bilara on September 1.
