New Delhi: Industrialist Anil Nanda and some of his associates have been reportedly questioned by Delhi Police in connection with the death of an employee working as his driver.
Additional Commissioner of Police (South East district) VS Chahal said that the investigations in the murder case are in the right direction
"It's incorrect to say police didn't take action. Anil Nanda has been questioned. We immediately registered a case of 307 which is now 302. We are taking all steps to investigate the matter. We are examining the CD from your channel and the names that have come up. We act on merit and under no one's pressure. We had recorded his (Nanda) statement and questioned all relevant people who were in the house. Anil Nanda may be questioned again," said Chahal.
Nanda's driver Janeshwar Sharma died a week after he was set on fire by unidentified persons. Sharma, an ex-service man, was hospitalised with serious burn injuries on June 9. However, for over a week, nobody from the police department approached Sharma to record his statement.
In fact, it is now learnt that the city police failed to record the victim's statement despite directions from the area Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM).
As far as the condition of the victim was concerned, the FIR lodged with the police states that Janeshwar was admitted to Apollo Hospital at 11.15 am and at 1.40 pm Dr Mahesh Kaitu declared him fit for statement. Yet his statement was not recorded by the police.
Moreover, Delhi Police are yet to consider the victim's request for a murder investigation. In an on-camera statement given to IBN7, Sharma alleges that some unidentified persons poured fuel on him and set him on fire.
It is learnt that other employees of the Nanda residence took him to the hospital when they saw him in flames.
Sharma's brother Yogesh has demanded death for those involved in the murder.
"I appeal for death for all those who are behind the death of my brother. Since 9th, only twice the police have come to us. We are sure that political pressure and money power are suppressing the case," Yogesh told CNN-IBN.
Yogesh also suspected the role of the police in his brother's death.
"I will fight unto death to get justice. Even if I have to go to the High Court or the Supreme Court, I will do that and will not rest until justice is done," added Yogesh.
The FIR, registered at the New Friends Colony police station, mentioned that Janeshwar had told the police he had been asked to tail Nanda's business partner Vijay Sinha.
