Press conferences only 'headway' in CMO case

LUCKNOW: At a time, when none of the 10 teams formed to crack the CMO (family welfare) Dr BP Singh murder case, has got any significant lead, top government officials are busy holding press conferences hoping that the case would be soon worked out.
In all a total of 10 teams from various agencies including Special Task Force have been burning midnight oil to reach to the shooters, to dig out the motive or to get an inkling of the main conspirators.
Interestingly, no headway has been made so far. A senior police official said, “The strategy is to give a feeling to the masses that something is happening in the CMO murder case and the government was serious in this regard. Otherwise, the hope being expressed is just a political statement, as there seems hardly any headway in the case.” On April 2, Dr BP Singh was sprayed with bullets allegedly by two sharp shooters, while he was on a morning walk in Vishesh Khand area of Gomtinagar. After 38 days of the murder, strangely none of the teams have any clue either about the shooter or the conspirator.
A blind case that way, the investigators have themselves now started losing hope of cracking it. “This has in fact raised doubts that are the investigators really serious in cracking the case? Reason: It is hard to digest that no lead has been found in the case even after 38 days of the murder, as a fallout of which two ministers of Mayawati cabinet resigned on moral grounds and family welfare and health ministries were merged again,” a resident of Gomtinagar requesting anonymity said.
A senior police officer went to the extent of saying that there was no development at all in the case and there won't be any development either at least in the near future.
His hunch is based on his experience of dealing with serious nature of crime in the past and the way things have and are progressing on the investigation front. The fact is also coming true now as the investigators who were for sure that the murder had something to do with the scams and corruption prevalent in the family welfare department's National Rural Health Mission scheme have started admitting that even the corruption detected in the department so far has not been able to throw light on the murder. No link between corruption in the department and murder has been found.
Similarly, on the shooter front also, the investigators have failed to even identify the actual shooter behind the murder, leave alone arresting him. Same is the status on motive and conspirator's front, a senior police official said.
So, is the hope being expressed by senior officials like cabinet secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh and DGP Karamveer Singh that the CMO murder case would be cracked soon has something more to it than what meets the eye? Who knows, may be its an effort to keep the voices of resentment at low decibel just by mere presentation of the investigation's development at the senior level through press conferences in a positive light?
All said and done, resentment continues to brew among the common man, the family members and the medical fraternity.
