CBI awaits NDFB chief custody
The CBI probing the brutal serial bomb blast case could not take the custody of outlawed NDFB chief Ranjan Daimary as Assam police on Friday pleaded for extension of police custody in connection with a murder of Bodo Sahitya Sabha president Bineswar Brahma case.
The Assam police move, of taking the custody of NDFB chief in an old case of August 2000 regarding the murder of Bodo Sahitya Sabha president instead of facilitating the CBI to take his custody in the serial bomb blast of 2008, has also come as surprise to many legal experts and blast victims as well.
However, CBI sources told this newspaper that they could not plead for the custody of NDFB chief because of some technical reason. Sources said that Assam police, on security ground, was reluctant to produce the NDFB chief outside the camp court set up inside the central jail of Guwahati for hearing the cases of top militant leaders.
For CBI custody the NDFB chief has to be produced in the special court Assam. The Assam police authorities wanted to organise the hearing of the special court also inside the central jail itself where the camp court has been set up.
