Wang' decision fueled speculation as resignation from a parliamentary seat is usually taken at the highest political level and precedes formal arrests and prosecution . He was asked to step down as Chongqing police chief within days of his escape to the US consulate, but was allowed to hold his parliament seat for four months
Wang is known to have investigated the murder and implicated Bo's wife before taking shelter in the US consulate fearing reprisals from his boss.
Experts said the latest twist reveals that the Chinese government wants to begin trails and possibly dispose it off before the expected reshuffle in the Communist Party's leadership later this month. The twist follows the arrest of French architect Patrick Devillers in Cambodian . Devillers is being questioned for helping Bo's wife move illegally acquired money overseas.
Bo was widely expected to become a member of the Communist Party's ninemember politburo standing committee before the scandal broke. The standing committee is due for reshuffle after 10 years later this year.
