Ranchi, April 17: The CBI wants to conduct lie detection, brain mapping, and narco-analysis test upon Devanand Oraon, the father of the deceased lady officer of Jharkhand Police Rupa Tirkey, as part of the investigation of her murder case.
26-year-old Rupa Tirkey was posted at the Mahila police station in Sahibganj district. She was found hanging at her official quarter on the morning of May 3 last year. The police initially concluded it was a case of suicide. Later on, the police arrested her colleague Shiv Kumar Kanaujia for abetment of suicide. But Devanand Oraon, a CISF employee, blamed his daughter was murdered by some influential persons and moved a petition for the CBI probe at Jharkhand High Court. The single bench of Justice Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi ordered the CBI probe while hearing the writ petition no. 139/2021.
The Patna branch of the CBI investigating this case issued a letter to Devanand Oraon on April 11. The letter signed by the investigating officer of the case Gautam Kumar Anshu requests Devanand Oraon to give his consent for lie detection, brain mapping, and narco-analysis test.
“You are informed that during the course investigation of this case some scientific tests are required upon you namely lie detection, brain mapping, and narco-analysis test. For this, your consent is required. If you give the consent then on the given date and place you will have to appear before the expert. You are kindly requested to give your voluntary consent in the interest of the investigation,” the CBI letter reads.
However, the move of the CBI has left many wondering whether the CBI has found anything doubtful against Devanand Oraon in this case. Sources aware of the development said that during the investigation of this case by Sahibganj police some audio clips of a conversation of Devanand Oraon with Shiv Kumar Kanaujia.
Devanand Oraon in the audio is heard asking Shiv Kumar Kanaujia to stay away from his daughter. Rupa Tirkey and Shiv Kumar Kanaujia wanted to marry each other. The CBI wants to know about the facts of the matter of these things hence it wants certain tests upon Devanand Oraon. The family of Rupa Tirkey was opposed to their relationship. But at the same time, they are not ready to believe and accept that Rupa Tirkey committed suicide due to such reasons. Her mother Padmavati Orain in her complaint alleged that she was raped and murdered.
