ACB’s interim report points out omissions in the FIR against the encounter cop
After a year of public humiliations following the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) investigations into the alleged disproportionate assets case (DPA) in which he was suspended and arrested, Daya Nayak, the dreaded encounter specialist may have reasons to cheer. The officer said he would sue the officer who filed the FIR in the case.
Incidentally, it is a recent interim report by the ACB itself that has given the officer the boost, sources said. The interim report, which is with DNA, was prepared by ACP DN Bhong, had many gaping holes in the FIR submitted by investigating officer Bhimrao Rohidas Ghadge.
In a face-saving exercise, Bhong, who submitted the interim report, had been replaced by a new investigating officer ACP Mangesh Pote “to restudy it”. Ghadge has now been transferred to Dadar police station.
“I’m going to sue senior police inspector Ghadge, the investigating officer who had filed the FIR, if he does not apologise for filing a false FIR against me. His action was defamatory. With the ACB’s own interim report contradicting Ghadge’s claims in the FIR, now the truth is there for all to see,” Nayak told DNA.
“I have worked so hard for the department, trying to eliminate the underworld and there’s not a single controversial encounter in which I’m involved. But I was arrested and suspended just because an FIR was filed and was disgraced. Being myself a police officer, I had no objection into the enquiry, but being vindictive for whatever reasons is uncalled-for. And now the ACB’s interim report itself is self-explanatory. I’m still searching for an answer why I was removed from my job and was arrested,” he said.
The interim report filed by ACB, points out glaring omissions by investigating officer who seemed to have hastily registered the FIR against Nayak. In 10 years between 1995 and 2004, Rs 63 lakh that was deposited in Nayak’s wife Komal’s account in Dena Bank on various occasions were through cheques, including a Rs 38 lakh loan, which were left out in the FIR. Only her expenditure was shown in the FIR. Besides, both Nayak and Komal’s names were clubbed in the FIR.
