Ranchi: Opposition BJP on Saturday charged chief minister Hemant Soren with shying away from a CBI probe in connection with the alleged suicide of Rupa Tirkey, then officer-in-charge of Sahibganj women police station early this month and said it would move the court if needed to ensure justice to the bereaved family. Ruling JMM, however, dismissed the charge and said the government is ready for a probe by any agency if the family members made a formal demand.
Addressing a press conference at the party office here, BJP leader Babulal Marandi also accused Soren’s political aide in Sahibganj of engaging in all kinds of “illegal acts” in the Santhal Pargana region and police have remained a mute spectator.
