CBI in Kanchipuram? [ www.dinamalar.com ]
Velur Central Men’s Prison: CBI official enquiry?
Information has come out that the day before yesterday, CBI officers conducted an enquiry in front of Velur Central Prison, where Jayendrar Swamigal was imprisoned, about the security arrangements made for him and the facilities made available to him.
After his arrest in the Sankarraman murder case, Jayendrar Swamigal stayed in Velur Central Men’s Prison for 61 days. Since the Supreme Court granted him bail, he has been staying in Kalavai. Rumors emerged a few days ago that gang hirelings entered the Mutt disguised as devotees. Under this pretext, security around the [Kalavai] Sankaramatam was heavily tightened.
Information emerged that Security Force Vigilance Officer Sakai, from the Delhi-based [Industrial?] Security force came to the Mutt to conduct detailed discussions about security. On the basis of this, word spread that the Matam’s security was being taken over by the Central Industrial Security Force.
Day before yesterday, 4 CBI officers from Delhi examined the security arrangements. Afterwards, they went into the Mutt as bhakths to meet Jayendrar Swamigal and get his blessings.
At this stage, there is word that yesterday they arrived in front of Velur Central Men’s Prison, and, without going inside the prison, they stood in front of the prison gate, making enquries with prison officials about the security arrangements for Jayendrar Swamigal and facilities made available to Him during the 61 days he was interred there.
Beyond this, they also sought information from the people of Velur and certain important Hindu religious leaders in Velur about the conditions Jayendrar Swamigal was kept in while in Velur Prison.
After conducting investigations in Kanchipuram for 5 days, these investigators conducted enquiries in Kalavai and Velur for only 1 day each. There are a lot of official hindrances to conducting an enquiry inside a prison. It was for just that reason that they remained in front of the prison to conduct enquiries, they said and told us not to create dilemmas by asking them anything further. They also refused to give their names.
They let us know that they will stay in Kanchipuram for 4 more days. When we asked Velur Central Prison officers about this, they told us: “No CBI officers came inside the prison to make enquiries.” But they did not refute whether enquires were conducted in front of the prison.
Given these circumstances, information has leaked that a number of State Home Ministry officials have been give a ‘dose’ [ie a scolding] for not informing about CBI officials coming to Kalavai and Velur Central Prison.--Another headline from dinamalar on this from the previous day.
