“Torture” by CBI forced family to commit suicide: B K Bansal

Date:

A top government official B K Bnasal, who committed suicide while being probed by CBI for alleged corruption, has accused the investigating agency of torturing him and three other members of his family, forcing them to end their lives.

In purported suicide notes dated September 26, 2016, a day before the bodies of  B K Bansal and his son Yogesh were recovered from their flat here, the two accused a CBI DIG, two women officers and a “fat” havildar of the probe agency of “torture“.

In the wake of the allegations against its officials, CBI on Wednesday constituted an internal inquiry to look into them.

CBI Spokesperson RK Gaur said the agency has received a communication from Delhi Police to which the suicide notes have been attached.

He said an inquiry has been ordered into the allegations and the court will be informed.

In the note purportedly signed by Bansal, former Corporate Affairs Director General, it has been alleged that his wife and daughter had shared the details of “torture” with friends and neighbours before taking the extreme step in July.

He alleged that the CBI DIG also claimed that he was close to a politician of the ruling party and dared Bansal to do whatever he wanted.

Bansal alleged that the women officers slapped his wife even as the DIG abused her over the phone and threatened to torture Bansal who was then in CBI custody.

He said, “Even if I was at fault in the case, why were my wife and daughter pushed to suicide by CBI officials.”

“This cannot be termed as suicide. It is a murder of two ladies,” he said, adding that the DIG and the “fat” havildar should be subjected to lie detector test to ascertain the truth.

Bansal also urged the Director CBI to probe the matter as the DIG had threatened him before the suicide of his wife and daughter that “they will be subjected to such a torture that they will ask for death but won’t get it”.

His son Yogesh, in his purported suicide note, identified one more officer in addition to four already named by his father.

Yogesh alleged that he was “unofficially” subjected to “mental and physical” torture to an extent that he was being forced to take such a step.

He alleged that the five CBI officers including the DIG had “unofficially and off the record” tortured him, his mother and his sister.

“My mother and my sister were against suicide but they were tortured to such an extent that they took the step,” he alleged, adding that they were “murdered” by CBI officers who were supported by a neighbour who made fun of their situation.

The suicide by Bansal and his son came barely two months after his wife and daughter ended their lives following his arrest on July 16 for allegedly accepting a bribe from a pharmaceutical company.
