The murder is being linked to Dubey's letter to the Prime Minister's Office exposing improper utilisation of funds and sub-standard quality of work in the Golden Quadrilateral Project.

The Golden Quadrilateral, prime minister's pet project, aims to connect the four corners of the country by four-lane roads.

Communist Party of India-Marxist member Somnath Chatterjee drew the attention of the House to the fact that the engineer's specific request that his name not be divulged was allegedly ignored by the PMO.

He asked the government to state its stand on Dubey's murder and explain how it could allow such a prestigious project to be mired in corruption and mismanagement.
