Ranchi, Jun 11 (PTI) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who has already ordered a judicial probe into the alleged death by suicide case of Sahebganj women police station in-charge Rupa Tirkey last month, assured her family members Friday that the inquiry will be fair and impartial.
A delegation comprising Tirkey's mother, Padmavati Oraon, father Devanand Tirkey and MLA Bandhu Tirkey among others called on the CM during the day showing dis-satisfaction in the probe so far and stating that they suspected 'murder' of Tirkey and not suicide.

Those found guilty will not be spared, Soren said.
