‘Complete probe within six months and file chargesheet, if any offence is found’
The investigation into the death of former Tiruchengode Deputy Superintendent of Police R. Vishnupriya took a new turn on Thursday as the special court for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) here rejected the agency's closure report in the case and ordered it to continue the investigation with certain specific aspects.
The court has directed the CBI to complete the investigation within six months and file the chargesheet, if any offence is found.
Chief Judicial Magistrate S. Nagarajan, in charge of the CBI special court, ordered the agency to continue the investigation in the case, on a petition filed by the parents of Vishnupriya -- M. Ravi and B. Kalaiselvi -- opposing the closure report filed in May this year.
The CBI team had submitted its final report before the court in May stating that the DSP had ended her life and further action may be closed in the case.
The petition filed by the DSP's parents, opposing the CBI's closure report, said that it had several contradictions and the agency had merely reproduced the report filed by CB-CID that investigated the case earlier.
The petition also said that the DSP's parents and five police officers - two DSPs, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, an Assistant Superintendent of Police and an Inspector - were willing to give statement under Section 164 of Cr.PC and they may be permitted to appear before the court for recording their statements in the case.
“After hearing the arguments of the prosecution and the counsel, the court observed that the investigation conducted by the CBI was not proper. The court has directed the investigating officer of the CBI to check 12 points in specific during the probe,” said P.R. Arulmozhi, counsel for the parents of the deceased officer.
The investigating officer has been asked to find out what was spoken in the last telephone conversation between Vishnupriya and Superintendent of Police S.R. Senthilkumar, to probe the alleged torture and misbehaviour by the SP about which Vishnupriya had complained to her parents and friends, and what was spoken in the telephone conversation between Vishnupriya and Yuvaraj, an accused in the Gokulraj murder case, during the investigation of which Vishnupriya was found hanging in her residence on September 18, 2016, Mr. Arulmozhi said.
