Akhil Gupta, the man killed in Muzaffarnagar on Sunday, was a key witness in one of the rape cases against religious leader Asaram Bapu. He was also the second witness in the case to be murdered. Six months ago, Amrut Prajapati, Asaram's one-time physician, was shot dead.

A witness in a rape case involving Asaram Bapu was shot dead by unidentified persons in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar on Sunday.

This session of Parliament saw the government mulling changes to the Land Acquisition Act, specifically to do away with or dilute provisions that make acquiring land difficult. Pressure for amendments has come from state governments, and corporate India. A shortage of land is held to be a key factor in stalling industries from setting up business.

The CBI chargesheet raises as many questions as it answers, of the forces at play behind the encounter, which many say holds the key to unravelling the mystery of the killings. 18 months after it took over the case, the CBI began to zero-in on the role of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), especially Rajinder Kumar, head of the IB's Gujarat station.
