CBI seeking legal help from Centre over DCW summons

26 October 2016, New Delhi, Chayanika Nigam

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is said to be seeking legal assistance from the Centre to find out whether the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) can actually summon a CBI official in a case. S Balasubramony, AIG (P)-II, CBI, is heading the team conducting the internal probe against DIG Sanjiv Gautam and other officials in the B K Bansal suicide case. The dying declaration of Bansal and his son Yogesh has left a mark on the CBI officials for harassing, torturing and threatening the Bansal family while he was held in a graft case. According to CBI sources, Balasubramony was supposed to appear before DCW on Tuesday. “But the CBI had sent a written reply to DCW’s summon saying that the CBI is not sure whether it’s DCW’s jurisdiction to summon a CBI official or not,” the source added. Meanwhile, a legal opinion is being taken from the Central government to know if a state body has the power to summon CBI officials. The CBI spokesperson confirmed that letters have been sent to DCW and the Central government seeking legal opinion. On Tuesday, it was also learnt that the CBI is all set to submit its findings in the internal probe conducted by the department and soon it will be shared with the NHRC.

CBI to submit Bansal report to NHRC soon Oct 26, 2016 | Age Correspondent New Delhi

Agency seeks clarification from Centre whether Delhi women’s panel can

summon its officials. The CBI will soon submit report of its internal inquiry, initiated to probe the allegations of harassment levelled by former DG corporate affairs B.K. Bansal against the agency officials, to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Bansal, who was facing graft charges, had ended his life on September 27, nearly two months after his wife and daughter had taken a similar tragic step. The CBI has also sought clarification from the Centre whether Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has authority to summon its official which the women panel did in the matter relating to suicide of wife and daughter of Bansal. The DCW had asked the assistant inspector general of the agency to present himself before it in connection with the suicide committed by wife and daughter of Bansal in July this year. Sources said while they had responded to the summons issued by the DCW, whether the panel can summon officials of a Central government investigation agency needs to be clarified. Sources said they are conducting an internal probe under a joint director who is not in a chain of command and its report will soon be submitted to the NHRC. The agency is ready to respond to questions raised by statutory bodies, but needs clarification on sending its officials on the summons issued by a body created by the state government. Bansal was arrested by the CBI on July 16 for allegedly accepting bribe from a prominent pharma company. Three days later, his wife and daughter committed suicide. Bansal allegedly hanged himself along with his son at their residence in East Delhi on September 27, with a purported suicide note claiming “harassment” by the CBI, barely two months after his wife and daughter ended their lives following his arrest in the alleged corruption case.

F.India BK Bansal suicide case: CBI to submit report of internal probe to NHRC Oct.26.2016

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) may shortly submit the

report of its internal probe in the suicide case of former Corporate Affairs

Director General BK Bansal and his family members to National Human Rights

Commission (NHRC).

According to sources, a senior joint director-rank officer, who is not in the chain of command, is conducting an internal probe into the suicide notes left by Bansal and his son. The agency will submit its report to NHRC. The CBI has also sought clarification from the central government whether the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has jurisidiction to summon its officials. The CBI's stand is that the DCW is a body constituted under state law, while the CBI is a central, autonomous agency. DCW had last week asked the Assistant Inspector General of CBI to present himself on Tuesday before the commission in connection with the suicide of Bansal's wife and daughter. The sources said that the agency is ready to respond to questions raised by statutory bodies, but has reservations over its officers appearing before a body created under state government law. Bansal, 60, was arrested on 16 July for allegedly accepting bribe from a prominent pharmaceutical company. Days later, his wife Satyabala and daughter Neha ended their lives. On 27 September, Bansal allegedly hanged himself along with his son Yogesh at their residence, leaving behind a suicide note, alleging harassment by the CBI.

NHRC begins probe into police atrocities

TNN | Updated: Oct 26, 2016, 06:14 IST

AHMEDABAD: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has begun probe

into the alleged police atrocities on Patidars during the community's movement

for OBC quota in August last year when widespread violence erupted across

the state in which 11 persons were killed.

It was alleged that police had assaulted the community members after the

August 25 gathering called by Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti(PAAS)

convener, Hardik Patel, last year. The police had detained Hardik from the

public meeting venue at GMDC ground after which violence broke out in

various parts of the city.

Following the widespread violence, police had allegedly committed atrocities on

Patidars, which also includes an alleged case of custodial death of Shwetang

Patel, a resident of Bapunagar. It was also alleged that the women of the

community were abused by the cops.

To press the issue of police atrocities, PAAS had approached International

Human Rights Commission at Poland, United Nations High Commissioner for

Human Rights at Geneva in Switzerland, NHRC and National Commission for

Women.

Varun Patel of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), who had filed the

complaint before the NHRC in October last year, was on Tuesday called by

investigating officer deputy superintendent of police B M Desai at ATS office in

Adalaj area of the city.

"I gave my statement about the police atrocities on Patidars before the NHRC

wherein DSP Desai took all the details. I had earlier submitted around 47 video

footages and 50 media clippings along with my application to the NHRC

showing how police had beaten the Patidar community members and

manhandled their women," Patel said.

Bansal suicide: CBI to soon submit its report to NHRC

Press Trust of India | New Delhi October 25, 2016 Last Updated at 20:43 IST

CBI will soon be submitting the report of its internal probe in the suicide case of former Corporate Affairs Director General B K Bansal and his family members to National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

The agency has also sought clarification from the Centre whether Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), a body constituted under state law, has authority to summon its officials.

DCW had last week asked the Assistant Inspector General (P) of CBI to present

himself today before the Commission in connection with the suicide of Bansal's

wife and daughter in July this year.

CBI sources said while they had responded to the summons issued by the

DCW, whether the panel can summon officials of a central government

investigation agency needs to be clarified.

CBI is conducting an internal probe under a Joint Director who is not in a

chain of command and its report will soon be submitted to NHRC, they said.

The agency is ready to respond to questions raised by statutory bodies but

needs clarification on sending its officials on the summons issued by a body

created under state government law, they added.

60-year-old Bansal was arrested on July 16 for allegedly accepting bribe from a

prominent pharma company. Three days later, his wife Satyabala and daughter

Neha committed suicide.

Barely two months after their deaths, Bansal allegedly hanged himself along

with his son Yogesh at their residence on September 27 with a purported

suicide note claiming "harassment" by CBI in the alleged corruption case.
