Madani-Sufiya case should be enquired by CBI

The Marxist party of India abuses all the time the CBI, the constitutional investigating agency, for what is called its partisan attitude in the Lalavalin scam. The secretary of the party has siphoned out Rs 382 crore, it is alleged. The case against Pinarayi is a fabricated one according to the party. If it is true the Joint Investigation Team of the Kerala Police had done a similar investigation. They arrived at the conclusion that were not enough evidences to enlist PDP chairman Abdul Nasser Madani and his wife Sufiya in the case relating to the burning of a Tamil Nadu State bus at Kalamassery, on September 9, 2005. For opposition this investigation is really a fabricated one as a few extremists arrested else where in the state has given valid exposure about the case. The Ruling Front and Police could not ignore the scene where Madani on a tall wheel chair along with Pinarayi addressed all the people in Kerala including octogenarians as ‘sons’.

It has been reported that there were references to Madani and his wife in the confessions by some of the accused in the case. But there were no evidences to prove their involvement. This seems rather illogical as no proof would come directly before the police. It is foolish to think that Madani and his wife come before police with confessions. It is the duty of the police to find evidence.

The whole episode exemplifies the inefficacy of the Kerala police and its blind dependence on the CPM front. Though the contention of the police that no external interference was being made in the investigations the reason for prolonging the police enquiry, till the Parliament elections remains dubious. So there is a need to hand over the cases to any Central Investigating Agency.
