The government in a statement said that recent allegations by a wanted and proclaimed offender in the case Kim Davy are mischievous and aimed at misleading the prosecuting agency.
Government today rejected the charge that any official agency had "connived or helped" Purulia arms drop case accused to destabilise the Jyoti Basu government in West Bengal in 1995 and said "any new fact emerging at any time" would be looked into by CBI.
The recent allegations by a wanted and proclaimed offender in the case Kim Davy "are mischievous and aimed at misleading the prosecuting agency and a court in Denmark which is seized with the matter of his extradition to India to face trial", the government said in a statement.
"Notwithstanding what Kim Davy and Peter Bleach, a convict in this case, have said to a section of the media, the fact remains that no government agency connived or helped them in their heinous act", it said.
The case has remained under investigation and any new facts emerging at any time will be looked into by the CBI in a professional manner, the statement said adding the government is committed to unravelling the truth and the entire conspiracy behind the crime and to bring all the guilty to justice.
"Once Kim Davy is extradited and put to trial in an Indian court of law, he will get ample opportunity to explain his contentions and his defence to the court which will decide on his culpability as per the evidence and the law", the statement said.
"Government and the CBI are acutely conscious of the fact that nothing should be done at this stage that will prejudice the extradition proceedings or the intended trial of Kim Davy after his extradition to India," it said.
Yesterday, CBI had dismissed claims of Davy that the clandestine work of arms being dropped in Purulia from a foreign plane in 1995 was carried out by "political forces" at the Centre to destabilise the Left front Government of West Bengal which at that time was headed by Jyoti Basu.
