Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has directed Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh to visit the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office in New Delhi on June 12 in a major development to the ‘suspicious’ death of Morikolong Sub-Inspector (SI) Junmoni Rabha.
SI Junmoni Rabha Death
Reportedly, the DGP will be visiting New Delhi to discuss the premier investigating police agency taking over Junmoni Rabha’s death case from CID Assam.
While speaking to media persons, GP Singh said, ”On the directions of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, I will be visiting the CBI office on Monday. We will hold talks with top CBI officials in New Delhi. Hopefully, SI Junmoni Rabha’s death case will be transferred to CBI after the discussions.”
The Supreme Court and High Courts can also order the CBI to investigate a crime anywhere in the country without the consent. After discussions with Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Assam Police had also decided that all the police officers connected to the above-mentioned districts shall be transferred.
While addressing the press conference in Guwahati, GP Singh said, ”I also want to put it on record that this decision of mine to transfer the investigation to CBI has been taken on two grounds. One the public sentiments, their desires and demands to transfer the cases to CBI and secondly, one of our own officer has lost her life, it is deemed appropriate that the case is investigated by a neutral agency. I have great regard for the capability that CID Assam has displayed during the last few years and all the cases that have been entrusted to CID Assam in last few years have been investigated and taken into logical conclusion. However, I reiterate that I have taken the decision to transfer the cases to CBI for the sake of public sentiment and neutrality.”
