BHUBANESWAR:The Crime Branch was given the responsibility of investigating the mysterious death of ACF Somya Ranjan in Paralakhemundi. The Crime Branch gave a clean chit to Vidya Bharati and DFO Sanjabha Behera. This means that they are innocent. Due to the intervention of the High Court and the investigation order of the SDJM Court, Sanjabha Behera and Vidya Bharati went to jail. These two were the main conspirators in the death of ACF Somya Ranjan.
Similarly, in 2010, the Crime Branch investigated the much-discussed Bhagirathi Madangi murder case in Rayagada district. The Crime Branch acquitted the main accused, Bhaskar Rao. Bhagirathi’s family went to the Supreme Court after a 16-year legal battle. Bhaskar Rao was arrested after the court’s order.
In Mohan Majhi’s government, the Crime Branch has taken over the investigation of various cases. The Crime Branch has taken over the investigation of the Naba Das murder case. Its result is zero. That means the culprit is safe. Similarly, the Crime Branch has taken over the investigation of the irregularities in the printing of textbooks. No one knows whether the investigation is going on.
An FIR was filed by the government at the Capital Police Station regarding the loss of the Laxmanand Saraswati investigation report. Subsequently, the police started an investigation and served notices to many officials including VK Pandian. But suddenly the government ordered a Crime Branch investigation. What happened in the investigation now, no one knows. It is heard that the hair was given to the police.
This is the crime branch investigation. According to the will of the government, the crime branch only does investigation in name. The real purpose is to protect the criminals.
