Bhanu will also inquire into the subsequent road blockade in front of Dhula police station and police firing resulting into the death of another person, an official release said here today.

One person was killed early on January 10 when the police opened fire at Dhula to control a mob which attacked a police station alleging death of a person due to torture in custody.
