Anurag Tiwari's brother claims he has 'many facts', will share with CBI

Mayank Tiwari, the elder brother of the Karnataka cadre IAS officer Anurag Tiwari, who was found dead near a guest house in the state capital on Wednesday, has claimed that he has ''many facts'', which he will be sharing with the CBI.
 
''I have many facts…..I will share them with CBI,’’ Mayank said without elaborating.
 
He had earlier alleged that Anurag Tiwari had told him that he was on the verge of exposing a huge scam in the department of Food and Civil supplies, where he was posted as commissioner, that could implicate many senior officials in Karnataka.
 
Mayank also asked senior UP IAS officer Prabhu Narain Singh, who was a batch mate of Tiwari, in ‘’unraveling’’ the mystery behind his death.
 
Singh, who was vice-chairman of Lucknow Development Authority, was staying in the same room where Tiwari had stayed at the government guest house in the state capital.
 
''We have full faith in Singh but we will like him to come forward and tell them all the facts as they happened,’’ Mayank said.
 
Singh was on Monday quizzed by the police in connection with the case.
 
Mayank also contacted senior UP IPS officer Amitabh Thakur and sought his support in the fight for justice in this case.
 
Tiwari, who was commissioner, food, civil supplies and consumer affairs department in Karnataka, was found dead here on Wednesday. His body was found lying on the side of the road a few metres away from the Meerabai Guest House.
 
Tiwari’s postmortem report was inconclusive and the doctors preserved his viscera and heart for further forensic examination to ascertain the cause of death. The death of the IAS officer also triggered a political storm in UP with BJP and Congress getting engaged in sharp exchange of words.
