Probe against English Bazaar I C begins


Statesman News Service
MALDA, Jan. 9: Malda police have started an inquiry against the inspector-in-charge of the English Bazaar police station on the basis of villagers’ complaint that he had deliberately framed charges against an innocent farmer of possessing fake currencies, foreign currencies and brown sugar. The Malda SP Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhayay told reporters today that police initiated two cases including against the I-C English Bazaar. “Senior police officials will inquire into the case. If he would be found guilty the I-C would be punished according to law”, Mr Badyopadhayay said. It may be recalled that acting on a tip off, police seized fake currencies and a packet of brown sugar from the house of Insan Ali, an agriculture labourer, from Jaharatala village, close to Indo Bangladesh border, on Monday night. Villagers claimed that the victim was innocent. Though police detained twin sons of the main accused Insan Ali and his relative, released them latter after receiving complaint from villagers yesterday afternoon. It may be noted that Ali, presently a CPI-M supporter and used to cultivate an agriculture land of a local landlord, who was trying to deprive him of his claim allegedly in connivance with police from February 2006.
