Patna: Janata Dal (United) leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today demanded a CBI inquiry into the killing of Rahul Raj in Mumbai in a police encounter on Monday.
Kumar visited Rahul's residence today in Bihar’s Patna. He was accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi and Bihar National Democratic Alliance (NDA) convenor and Health Minister Nandkishore Yadav.

While talking to reporters at the slain youth's residence in Patna, Kumar said, "The Bihar Government and the people of the state share the view that a CBI inquiry is necessary to bring out the truth. After all, why a young man carrying a country made pistol, who could have been easily overpowered, was shot dead by the police? The people of the state have every right to know the truth."
Kumar also advised the people of Bihar, particularly the youth to exercise restraint and not allow divisive elements like Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray to succeed in their evil designs.

Answering to a question on an article published in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Samna, in which Rahul was reportedly described as a ''Bihari mafia", Kumar said "no words are adequate to denounce it. A young man, who had recently completed a diploma in radiology and wanted to pursue a decent career, cannot be described as mafia."
On Monday, Rahul, who allegedly tried to take passengers hostage in a state transport bus in Mumbai’s suburban Kurla, was killed by police in a shoot-out. News, national, Gujarat, Police, Delhi blasts, Ahmedabad, remand, serial bombings,
