Ajitabh case: Bihar DyCM talks to top cop
His father Ashok Kumar Sinha, 62, met Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi on Tuesday and apprised him of the case.
BENGALURU: Nearly six months after the disappearance of Kumar Ajitabh, a techie from Whitefield, the Bihar government has sought details about the progress of the investigation from their Karnataka counterparts.
Ajithabh, who hails from Bihar, went missing on Dec. 18, 2017. He had reportedly left his house to meet a prospective buyer of his car. He wanted to sell his car and had posted an ad on an e-commerce site.
His father Ashok Kumar Sinha, 62, met Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi on Tuesday and apprised him of the case.
Ashok said, “I discussed the case with Mr Modi. The minister spoke to DG&IGP Neelamani S. Raju over phone and enquired about the progress of the case. She informed Mr Modi that the police and CID are working hard on all angles.”
Ashok and his family have been demanding a CBI probe. “But, if the exercises are of zero results, then why the Karnataka government is not handing over the case to CBI,” Kumar questioned.
On June 25, Bihar's Home Secretary Aamir Subhani had faxed a letter to the state government drawing attention into the case. Bihar DGP K.S. Dwivedi is also looking into the case, which has been brought to the notice of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.
HC hearing today
The high court will hear the Ajitabh case on Thursday. In its hearing on Monday, the court had asked the state to submit the original records pertaining to the probe in a sealed envelope.
