New Delhi: The CBI on Wednesday initiated an internal inquiry to probe the allegations of torture by former Director General Corporate Affairs B.K. Bansal, who committed suicide along with his son Yogesh on Tuesday.
In suicide notes purportedly written by Bansal he has alleged that a CBI DIG, two women officers and a “fat” havaldar of the agency had tortured his wife and daughter after which they committed suicide in July.
Delhi Police is examining the two suicide notes — a seven-page note purportedly written by Bansal and a two-page note purportedly written by Yogesh dated September 26, a day before their bodies were found in their flat here.
Talking to reporters, CBI spokesperson R.K.Gaur said the agency has received a communication from the Delhi Police in which the suicide notes have been attached. He said an inquiry has been ordered to look into the allegations and the court will be informed.
“If any violation is established during the probe, strict action will be taken against the CBI officials concerned. The competent court will be informed,” he said.
Bansal allegedly hanged himself along with his son at their residence with a 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. He was arrested on July 16.
