The BJP had demanded for a CBI probe into the killing of Bihar youth Rahul Raj. Raj was killed in a shootout with Mumbai Police on 27 October.

"The postmortem report and the comments of the medical experts clearly indicate that there was foul play in the killing of the youth. Our party demands a CBI inquiry into the incident so that the truth is known," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

On the other hand, when asked about the statement of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar that 5 JD(U) MPs will resign on the issue of attack on Biharis, Rudy said, "resignation can never be a solution."

JD(U) is one of the oldest allies of BJP.

"It is time for all of us to keep aside our political priorities to ensure peace in society and security of North Indians in Maharashtra," Ruddy said said.

"We differ on the approach with our ally JD(U) on resignation. The JD(U) has taken this decision without any consultation," Ruddy added.
