Eyebrows raised over reinstatement of
cops Chandigarh, May 18 The decision of the Chandigarh Administration has raised questions as an inquiry conducted by a former Legal Remembrancer, Mr Sanjeev Kumar has been ignored. It seems the officials were not even aware of the inquiry report and its contents which indicted the policemen for their alleged involvement in the infamous “missing files” case in which several files pertaining to cases of murder or major cases investigated by Devinder Singh and Dhawan, or their subordinates, had been missing from police stations in the city. On April 28, 1999, the then LR Mr Sanjeev Kumar in his enquiry report had said, a Inspector Dhawan is the main culprit and responsible for the files. Despite untraced reports on the file , the same were not submitted to court and because of forgery committed in one of the files. In his report the LR had further said one of the murder files was a forged document for which Dhawan and Devinder Singh was responsible. Interestingly, in the same report the LR had also held DSP South, S.C. Sagar for the loss of another murder file. Mr Sagar had retained the FIR register with himself even after his transfer from the division. On the basis of the same a case was registered against the two under sections 467 and 468 of the IPC. In September 2000 the Police Department sent the case as untraced, however, the Joint Secretary, Home, Mr Ashok Sangwan, expressed reservations against it on record saying the case cannot be sent as untraced as it was serious matter. In yesterday decision the Administration overlooked the LR’s report and also Mr Sangwan’s initial remarks against the untraced report. Interestingly, Mr Sangwan is still the JSH. Officially the Administration is taking a stance that the cops could not have been suspended endlessly and the inquiry carries on. Had the Administration been serious the inquiry would have been finished by now. At present the SDM, East, Mr Gyanesh Bharti is the inquiry officer while earlier the inquiry was being conducted by Ms Varsha Joshi. Both have made little or no headway. It is the status of this inquiry about which the MHA has now asked for. |
