Just in: The CBI rules out foul play in death of Union Minister Gopinath Munde. The CBI took over the probe into the death of the BJP leader following a road accident in Delhi in June. The home ministry had recommended handing over of the case to the agency after a number of political leaders demanded a CBI probe into the fatal accident, who had just taken charge as the rural development minister in the Narendra Modi government.

64-year-old Munde, a popular backward class leader from Maharashtra, was on his way to Indira Gandhi Airport on June 3 when his car was hit by another vehicle at the Prithviraj Road-Tughlak Road roundabout in the heart of the national capital.

Munde died due to shock and haemorrhage following injuries to his neck and liver in the road accident.

Delhi Police had registered a case against 32-year-old Gurvinder Singh, the driver whose car hit Munde's vehicle.
