A Madhya Pradesh police team will soon visit New Delhi in this regard, they said.

"Although it has been decided to question Vijay in connection with Shehla's murder, no date has been fixed for the visit of the police team to New Delhi," Bhopal Range IG, Vijay Yadav told PTI.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh BJP President, Prabhat Jha told reporters here that Vijay may have known Shehla but this itself was not enough to say that he was involved in her murder.

Prabhat said the Madhya Pradesh government has already asked the Centre to initiate a CBI inquiry into Shehla's murder.

"I only want that the guilty are not spared and the innocent in the case are not punished," he said.
