Action & Reaction: Assam Govt to handover Prasanna Turung case to CBI

Action & Reaction: Assam Govt to handover Prasanna Turung case to CBI
Hours after the AASU submitted some specific allegations against five cabinet colleagues of Tarun Gogoi to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, the first one to react with action is power minister Pradyut Bordoloi. Caught in the allegations of his role in the missing of Margherita NCP leader Prasanna Turung and his wife, the minister has urged the Chief Minister Mr Gogoi to hand the case over to CBI for a detail probe into it which the Assam Government has done accordingly.Talking to reporters on Tuesday, the minister said the government has done it in view of an aroused demand for a CBI probe as the police enquiry has been remaining clueless. Mr Turung and his wife Kamai Turung have been remaining untraced since April 8, 2007 from Margherita.According to Mr Bordoloi, there is widespread rumour among a section of people that a political conspiracy could be working in the missing of the Turungs.The minister said as soon as he received the complaint from Tirap Autonomous Demand Committee, he ordered the Tinsukia police superintendent to look into it with due seriousness but police investigation is still clueless.This has forced the minister for power, commerce and industry and also Margherita MLA Pradyut Bordoloi to urged the Chief Minister to order a CID or CBI probe into the case so that the real culprit could be identified and punished..The minister has admitted that the arrest of Ripun Bora has done a lot of harm for both party and the government.
