New Delhi, June 3: More than two months after the murder of Delhi Police ‘encounter specialist’ Rajbir Singh, the CBI on Tuesday began investigation to ascertain the circumstances leading to the ACP's death.

The agency in its FIR has named the slain officer's friend Vijay Bharadwaj, a property dealer, of having killed Singh, who was the head of the Delhi Police's Special Operations Squad.

The case was registered by CBI following a request for the same by the Haryana government which was approved by the Centre on May 27.

A team of CBI officials accompanied by CFSL experts reached the office of Bharadwaj in Gurgaon, the scene of the crime.

Singh, whose career had its share of both glory and controversy, was allegedly gunned down by Bharadwaj in Gurgaon on March 24.

Though Bharadwaj had first confessed to the media that he shot the police officer, the investigations into the murder by Gurgaon police were always surrounded with controversy.

Bharadwaj had claimed that the gun used to kill the ACP was given to him by the slain police official himself. But subsequent investigations revealed that the weapon belonged to another senior police official who had apparently ‘lost’ it during an operation.
