The media is daily making new revelations in the case of kidnapping and murder of two 5-year-old twins in Chitrakoot. These revelations have reinforced the suspicion that the accused have links with police and Congress leaders. The silence of the police on these reports has increased the doubts that the police are complicit. Twins’ father Brijesh Rawat has openly said that CBI probe is necessary to expose those involved in the crime.
A day after UKG student twin brothers, Priyansh and Shreyansh, kidnapped from school bus in Madhya Pradesh’s Chitrakoot on February 12, were found murdered in Banda district of UP, the kids’ businessman father Brijesh Rawat demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervene in the matter and order CBI probe to expose real faces behind the gruesome crime.
Also, four MP police personnel in Satna district, including Nayagaon-Chitrakoot police station in-charge KP Tripathi, sub inspector Sudhanshu Tiwari, head constable Shiv Prasad Bagri and constable Chandrakant Pandey have been suspended for inadequate investigations in the case.
Rawat, who resides in UP’s Chitrakoot (Karvi) district, just a few hundred meters from MP’s Chitrakoot’s territory, has alleged the six men arrested for the kidnapping and murder of his sons were not the end, as there could be more people who gave them protection. Several doors are still closed which need to be opened through CBI probe, particularly to expose those who could be behind those arrested, demanded Rawat.
‘Direction of police probe was wayward since day one’
Expressing his angst over the MP police action which failed in rescuing his sons alive, he said the direction of police investigation was wayward right since day one, they were always far away from the culprits, despite the mastermind operating from the same place from where my sons were kidnapped.”
After being kidnapped, my children were locked in a room for three days at a place, which is not even a kilometer from where they were kidnapped on February 12, still how the police failed to track them. After three days they were shifted to UP, what was the police doing then, questioned Rawat.
Ongoing investigations have revealed that after being kidnapped from school bus in the sprawling Sadguru Sewa Trust-Janakikund campus in MP’s Chitrakoot, the twins were locked in a rented room in Rajaula, which is around a kilometer from the campus of the trust, which houses school where the twins studied.
On February 12, the driver of the school bus boarded by my children stopped the bus after seeing the masked kidnappers, who entered the bus at ease and kidnapped my sons on gunpoint before speeding away on bike. The kidnapping happened just around 100 meters from the house of the Trust’s trustee.
The arrest of the six men revealed that the key kidnapper was an important staff member of Trust related activities. I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order a CBI probe into the matter to expose the real faces behind what happened to my sons, said Rawat.
Importantly, the kidnapping mastermind Padamkant Shukla is the son of Ramkaran Shukla, a teacher at the Sanskrit school housed in the Sadguru Sewa Trust-Janakikund campus. The seized SUV bearing BJP flag, which is suspected to have been used in the horrific crime, is also owned by Ramkaran Shukla, who was sacked from job by the Sanskrit school administration on Monday.
Meanwhile, Chitrakoot-based Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya University (a state government institution) suspended two of its students, Raju Dwivedi and Apoorva Yadav alias Pinta, who are among the six arrested men.
Four other former students, including B.Tech dropout and crime’s mastermind Padamkant Shukla, twin brothers private tutor Ramkesh Yadav, another key accused Vikramjeet Singh have been banned from entry into the campus and debarred from admission to any course at the varsity in future.
Cong trying to woo backward classes
The Congress organized convention of backward classes after success in Lok Sabha polls to woo the backward classes. But backward class Congress national general secretary Satyanarayan Magrora and Rajya Sabha member Rajmani Patil prominently participated in the meeting. They said the future of backward classes is safe in the hands of Congress.
However contrary to the claims of organizers no minister or any of the three MLAs of the division participated in the meet. Besides Congress ticket aspirant and former Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh, former Vidhan Sabha deputy speaker Dr Rajendra Kumar Singh, district Congress Committee (rural) Dilip Mishra and other MLAs were conspicuous by their absence.
The seriousness of the Congress can be gauged from this. The district Congress leaders are divided in two factions and the organizers of backward class convention are not associated with both the factions.
Congress divided into two poles
Ticket aspirants for Satna Lok Sabha seat are showing their prowess in the field. This has divided the party workers in two groups. On one hand while former leader of opposition Ajay Singh is trying to lure voters through dedication and foundation stone laying ceremonies of the government.
On the other former assembly deputy speaker Rajendra Kumar Singh is trying to attract voters by taking part in religious programmes. The rivalry has reached to such a pitch that the two do not share a dais which is not a good sign for the Congress.
