Now, it's CBI vs UT cops
The CBI has asked the police not to examine its complainants and witnesses until the agency was through with the criminal case in court.
The CBI has asked the police not to examine its complainants and witnesses until the agency was through with the criminal case in court, as it believes the cops "cajole"and "coerce"them into giving statements favourable to the guilty police officers.
The accused officers often produces in court the complainants' and witnesses' favourable statements made before the police and it weakens their case, CBI sources told TOI, adding they were often influenced to turn hostile in court to benefit the guilty cop.
SSP Gaurav Yadav said they had asked for guidance from the administration in this matter, as there are clear CVC guidelines that both departmental proceedings and criminal case could go side by side. The administration, an official said, would be seeking guidance from CVC in this regard.
CBI sources said they had no problems with other departments whose officials it had been nabbing in trap cases, but they had found the police using its influence to sabotage their case.
Recently, the complainant in the case of SI Jaswant Singh, who was caught red-handed by CBI on August 3 last year while accepting bribe, turned hostile and Singh had once brought along several persons in court to pressurise him. "We have to protect our complainants and witnesses,"officials said.
Following the CBI's skepticism over the police's departmental inquiries, some of its complainants and witnesses have not turned up before the inquiry officer when called. The police often keep the result of departmental inquiries pending until the court order comes.
The CBI said their court trials had speeded up of late, and the cops could always wait to examine the witnesses "if their intentions are honest".
