The Centre will come out with a “detailed response” on the allegations that the 1995 Purulia arms drop case was aimed at “destabilising” the then West Bengal government.

Home minister P. Chidambaram on Friday said a detailed response is being prepared, which will be released very soon. While the home minister refused to comment on India’s chances of extraditing Kim Davy, the mastermind of Purulia arms drop case, the CBI on Friday said that it is hopeful of getting Davy extradited from Denmark.
The CBI has reportedly assured the Danish court, as is required by the law there, that Davy will be treated well by the prison authorities in West Bengal on extradition. The Danish court will take up the case of his extradition on May 23.
The CBI on Friday also rejected claims of Davy that the Purulia arms drop case was allegedly carried out by the political forces at the Centre to destabalise the then Left Front government of West Bengal. Talking to reporters, CBI spokesperson Dharini Mishra said, “The CBI has clinching evidence against Davy and is making all efforts to bring him to India to face trial in the case”.
She further said, “The agency has sufficient evidence against Davy and has elaborate details about the manner in which he carried out the Purulia arms drop. There is no evidence that any government agency or Indian politician helped him.” The mastermind of Purulia arms drop case had claimed to a TV channel that the then P.V. Narasimha Rao government had plotted the operation to destabilise the West Bengal government.
“The agency is making all efforts to bring him to India. The CBI has been able to establish in Indian court and to the Danish government that Davy’s crime is tantamount to act of terror,” said Ms Mishra.
