The charge sheet was filed in a case relating to the unnatural death of Karam Singh, ex-sarpanch of Kambopura village of Karnal in Haryana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe agency framed charges of abetment of suicide,\u201d said a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) official.<\/p>\n

Through his P.A., Jain had also taken Rs.3 lakh from Singh for the recruitment of his son as a conductor in Haryana roadways,\u201d said the official.<\/p>\n
When the government jobs in respect of the said candidates could not be materialised, Singh requested both legislators for the return of the money, but they refused.<\/p>\n
Singh made all efforts to get the money returned but the lawmakers started harassing and threatening him.<\/p>\n
