The family members of assistant professor Indu Sharma, who had committed suicide recently due to alleged abetment by police inspector Upmanyu Saxena, have demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
Victim’s brother Vinod Sharma has written a letter to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in this regard, because the accused is an influential person. He has also accused senior police officials for lax attitude towards the case.
Earlier, victim’s family members had met Home Minister Babulal Gaur demanding immediate arrest of the police officer. However, there has been no progress in the case till date.
Vinod alleged that the police officials investigating the case are cooperating, but still the depth in the probe is required is missing. In the letter to the Chief Minister, Sharma has mentioned several points including the delay in the arrest of the accused and he is hampering the investigation process using his influence.
On May 11, Indu Sharma had committed suicide by handing in a room of a flat situated on Hoshangabad road. Since, the police inspector was in live-in relationship with the woman, he had informed the police about the incident.
Notably, inspector Upmanyu Saxena had applied for anticipatory bail in the sessions’ court few days ago, but it was rejected. It is believed that Saxena is now trying for the bail in the High Court. Vinod Sharma has repeatedly raised this point stating that police officials under the influence are allowing Saxena to apply for bail in local and High courts.
On the contrary, the police officials claim that they had been making al out efforts to nab Saxena, including raids at several places by tracing his mobile phone’s location.
