The CBI has decided to send a team of forensic experts from its Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL—Delhi) to Siwan to assist the agency sleuths investigating the murder case of Bihar journalist Rajdeo Ranjan.

Sources said experts will collect all possible forensic evidence from the spot as well as from the state police. Forensic experts will leave for Siwan in a day or two. Ranjan, bureau chief of a Hindi daily, was shot dead by criminals near a fruit market in Siwan district on May 13.

“If required forensic experts may also seek clarifications from the Bihar police as the case was initially investigated by the latter. The agency officials, who are already there in Siwan, are expected to re-create the crime scene in the presence of forensic experts only”, sources said. Two bullets were fired at Ranjan that hit on his head and neck. He was rushed to a hospital, where the doctors declared him brought dead.
