Bhopal, April 15: Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Ajay Singh on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure justice to Preeti Raghuvansh, state Minister Rampal Singh's daughter-in-law who allegedly committed suicide nearly a month ago.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Ajay Singh urged Modi to ask Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to not only sack the Minister for allegedly misusing his office to put pressure on the police but also register a case against Rampal Singh and his son.
Preeti had allegedly committed suicide since the Minister's son was planning to get married again, the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly claimed.
He said that Preeti was not only forced to commit suicide but also her brother was abducted and released after four days to pressurise the family to retract their allegations against Rampal Singh and his son.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
