The family members of former UP minister Amarmani Tripathi's daughter-in-law, who was killed in an accident last week, today met the state police chief and demanded narco analysis test of the girl's husband, Amanmani.
The family said that some of the findings of the girl's post mortem report "raised doubt".
"Some findings in the post mortem report of Sara raise doubts over her death and a narco analysis test on Amanmani Tripathi can answer a lot of questions," said Seema Singh, the mother of 27-year-old Sara.
Earlier, suspecting a foul play the family members had called for a CBI probe into the death of Sara.
Singh met Director General of Police Jagmohan Yadav and gave an application for CBI inquiry into the accident in which Sara was killed in a road accident in Sirsaganj area of Firozabad last week.
Today, Singh and her son met the DGP and gave a brief letter demanding CBI inquiry, officials said, adding the DGP asked them to give their application in detail for the purpose.
Singh also apprised the DGP of certain issues verbally, they said. Sara's brother also demanded narco test on Amanmani as well as on his father Amarmani.
"This family (Tripathi) has always hurt my sister and his family members," he said.
Sara was killed when the car in which she was travelling overturned into a pit in a bid to save a cyclist in Firozabad district. Amanmani, who was driving the car, had escaped unhurt.
Amanmani had been evading arrest in connection with a kidnapping and loot case and was arrested after the accident.
Senior SP, Lucknow Rajesh Pandey said when police went to arrest Amanmani, he tried to hide his identity.
Amanmani's father Amarmani Tripathi, a former minister, is an influential politician from eastern Uttar Pradesh and is currently serving life sentence in the Madhumita Shukla murder case.
Tripathi was arrested in September 2003 in connection with the murder of poet Madhumita Shukla, with whom he allegedly had an affair. Madhumita was murdered on May 9, 2003.
The post mortem report of Madhumita revealed that she was carrying a foetus that matched the DNA of Amarmani and he and his wife Madhumani Tripathi were sentenced to life imprisonment in October 2007.
