In a major development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is set to take over the probe into the murder of Hindustan daily's Siwan bureau chief Rajdev Ranjan.

This comes after a furore erupted over Mohammad Kaif, the wanted sharpooter in the murder case, who was spotted next to former RJD parliamentarian Shahabuddin, when he was released from prison.


Kaif is one of the accused in the murder of Hindustan daily's Siwan bureau chief Rajdev Ranjan.
