MADURAI (The Thursday Times) — Bharti riyasat Tamil Nadu ke zila Madurai mein Haftay ki subah aik 42 saala lorry driver poochh gachh ke liye raat bhar thane mein rakhe jane ke baad thane ke ghusalkhane mein murda paya gaya, jis ke baad thane ke inspector ko muattal kar diya gaya aur riyasat ke Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department ne tehqiqat shuru kar deen.
Police ka kehna hai ke zila Theni mein Thevaram ke qareeb aik gaon se taalluq rakhne wale R. Balakrishnan ne apni jaan khud li. Un ki ahliya Sudha ne ilzam lagaya hai ke ahalkar un par us aag ka ilzam qubool karne ke liye dabao daal rahe thay jis mein un ki gaari mein ladi ilaichi jal gayi thi, aur rishtedaron ne Chekkanoorani thane ke bahar ehtijaj kiya, jahan 100 se zaid police ahalkar tainaat kiye gaye.
Balakrishnan aik delivery company ke liye maal bardar gaari chalate thay. 3 November ki ali-us-subah, jab woh Thevaram se Madurai tak ilaichi ki taqreeban 60 boriyan aur parcel le ja rahe thay, Valandur ke qareeb gaari mein aag lag gayi aur sara saman jal gaya. Un ki shikayat par hadsati aatishzadgi ka muqaddama darj kiya gaya.
Ilaichi bhejne wali firm ke manager ne baad mein police ko bataya ke unhein kuch boriyan ghaib hone ka shuba hai, jis par ahalkaron ne Balakrishnan ko Chekkanoorani thane aane ko kaha. Police ke mutabiq Jumay ko un se poochh gachh ki gayi, un ke bayan mein tazadat samne aaye, aur unhein raat thane mein inspector ke kamre mein rukne ko kaha gaya. Police ke aik bayan mein kaha gaya ke woh wahan “muqaddame se mutaliq CCTV footage ki tasdeeq mein tafteeshi afsar ki madad” ke liye maujood thay.
Police ke mutabiq Haftay ki subah taqreeban 6 baje woh ghusalkhane gaye aur baad mein be-hosh paaye gaye. Unhein Madurai ke Government Rajaji Hospital le jaya gaya, jahan doctoron ne unhein murda qarar de diya. Post-mortem abhi hona baqi tha.
Ahliya ne police ka mauqif mustarad kar diya
Sudha ka kehna hai ke police ne pehle Jumeraat ko un ke shohar ko poochh gachh ke liye bulaya tha, us waqt ghar wale un ke saath gaye thay aur unhein ghar bhej diya gaya tha. Un ke mutabiq is ke baad woh pareshan thay kyunke ahalkar un par aag ki zimmedari qubool karne ke liye dabao daal rahe thay. Jab police ne unhein dobara bulaya to ghar wale saath nahin gaye.
Unhon ne kaha, “Kal raat poochh gachh ke liye jaane ke baad un ki hum se baat nahin hui. Aaj subah police ne hamein bataya ke un ka inteqal ho gaya hai.”
Madurai zilai police ne bataya ke thane ke inspector Muthu aur do constables ko muattal kar diya gaya hai. Superintendent of Police N. Devanathan ne thane ka daura kiya, aur police ke mutabiq thane ki CCTV footage mehfooz kar li gayi hai. Junoobi zone ke Inspector General of Police Vijendra Bidari ne kaha ke case CB-CID ke hawale kar diya gaya hai aur adalati inquiry bhi ki jayegi.
Tamil Nadu mein police hirasat mein amwat baar baar tanaze ka baais banti rahi hain. June 2020 mein zila Thoothukudi ke Sathankulam ke aik thane mein rakhe jane ke baad baap beta P. Jayaraj aur J. Bennix ki maut par poore Bharat mein gham-o-ghussa phail gaya tha aur kai police ahalkar giraftar hue thay. Haftay ko sabiq wazir-e-ala Edappadi K. Palaniswami samait opposition rehnumaon ne mukammal tehqiqat ka mutalba kiya aur wazir-e-ala Vijay ki hukoomat par aman-o-amaan qaim rakhne mein nakami ka ilzam lagaya.
