Ex Bureaucrat Blames CBI For Torture In Suicide Note

New Delhi: Suspended Corporate Affairs Ministry officer B.K. Bansal had couriered his seven-page suicide note to some media organisations before hanging himself on Tuesday. This was confirmed by the media organisations concerned on Wednesday.

It is believed that he took the step fearing that Delhi Police and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) could hush up the matter after his and his son Yogesh's deaths.

In the suicide note he accused CBI's Deputy Inspector General Sanjeev Gautam, Superintendent of Police Amrita Kaur, Deputy Superintendent of Police Rekha Sangwan, Investigating Officer Harnam Singh and an unnamed Head Constable for murdering his wife Satyabala, 57, and daughter Neha, 27.

Both the women were found hanging in their first floor apartment in Neelkanth Apartments in east Delhi on July 19.

"An unknown constable tortured my wife and daughter so badly from July 18 night to July 19 night; he also abused them although they were not CBI culprits, but they were made to commit suicide after repeated torture. It was simply two murders, which cannot be termed 'suicide'," Bansal said in his note. Bansal referred to the constable as 'mota (fat) Havaldar".

The senior officer also alleged that the facts will come out only after a lie detector test on Gautam, Kaur, Sangwan and the constable.

Bansal appreciated Investigating Officer Parmod Tyagi for supporting him and asking him to forget the past wrongthings and assuring him that no wrong would now be done against him.

"These CBI officers made my family life hell. Although I heard that the CBI is tough but I never heard about such proceedings. My daughter and wife had not committed suicide, it is murder by the CBI," suicide note read.

The officer also levelled allegation of abetment to suicide against Gautam, Kaur, Sangwan, Singh and the constable and for torturing him and his son.

"I am disappointed since the day when my wife and daughter were forced to commit suicide by CBI officers; have finished all my desires to live anymore; leaving this world. 'Alvida, Bharat Mata ki Jai'," Bansal said in the end of his suicide note.

"He boasted that if he did not make my wife and daughter resemble the dead, he will not be CBI DIG Sanjeev Gautam. Your coming generation will remember Sanjeev Gautam," Bansal added.

Bansal said Gautam claimed he was BJP President Amit Shah's "man" and "no one can harm him".

Bansal and his son were found hanging in their apartment in Patparganj area around 8.30 am on Tuesday.

Bansal's wife Satyabala, 57, and daughter Neha, 27, committed suicide by hanging on July 19 after Bansal was questioned by the CBI in a corruption case.
