He pointed that state government did not flet the need to take action against three top officials including the former Chief secretary Raj Bala Verma, DGP and the ADG when they were accused of irregularities. On the contrary the government was trying to protect these officials, he said.
Marandi alleged that government only took token action the officials when other agencies including High Court and the Election Commission passed strict directives.
He said he government has not taken action against senior officials on its own adding that a few of its actions were partial.
He said Bakoria case is latest case in the point which has exposed the real face of the police. The DGP himself is surrounded by controversy in the case.
