Jamshedpur suicide victim’s family withdraws CBI probe petition 

Jamshedpur, July 19: A new twist has come in the case of Rourkela businessman Rahul Agarwal, who committed suicide by jumping from a hotel on Bistupur Main Road in Jamshedpur.

The family of deceased Rahul  Agarwal has withdrawn the petition given in Jharkhand High Court for CBI investigation. The CBI’s application was withdrawn in the presence of defense counsel RS Majumdar and advocate Prakash Jha.

Earlier, the High Court had given anticipatory bail to all the accused.

Incidentally, Rahul Agarwal was married in the year 2012. He also has two children. After marriage, Pradeep Chudiwala’s daughter Varsha Agarwal got separated while living with him. Later in the month of February, Varsha Agarwal went with her father and filed an FIR against him in Sonari police station for dowry harassment. After this, with the help of the police, constant pressure was put on him.

In this case, efforts were now being made to arrest Pradeep Chudiwala and his family. In this case the whole family got bail. After this, now the family of Rahul Agarwal has withdrawn the petition filed for the demand of CBI inquiry.

Rahul Agarwal ended his life on 5 May 2022 by jumping from a hotel on Bistupur Main Road. Since then sensation had spread and Rahul Agarwal’s family had agitated from Jamshedpur to Rourkela demanding the arrest of his in-laws.

 A petition was filed in the High Court demanding a CBI inquiry into the matter. In Rahul Agarwal’s case, the police had conducted an internal inquiry after the FIR was filed, after which the police gave a clean chit to Pradeep Chudiwala and his family.

After this, on August 2022, Ankit Agarwal, brother of the deceased Rahul Agarwal, filed a petition demanding a CBI inquiry. But on Tuesday the petition was withdrawn.
