Assam Police are going slow on the Guwahati molestation

The Assam Police are going slow on the Guwahati molestation case investigation, said RTI activist Akhil Gogoi on Wednesday, fuelling the political conspiracy theory of chief minister Tarun Gogoi. Akhil Gogoi said senior law enforcement officials may well be besieged to cut down
probe.

"I had asked the DGP why they were taking goodbye to bring molestation kingpin Amarjyoti Kalita to book. He told me the police required to proceed slowly since it had been a high-profile issue," the RTI activist said.

"Any case needs thorough investigation. Arrests can not be created solely on basis of CDs (with) origin unverified," DGP Jayanta Narayan Choudhury told HT.

On Tuesday, the chief minister had said the case may well be a "conspiracy" against him.

Atanu Bhuyan, who quit as editor-in-chief of NewsLive TV on Tuesday, was meanwhile, off from the channel's board of administrators.  He was additionally quizzed by the police once 2 ladies, one in every of them a journalist, lodged a grievance alleging he sent them threat messages.
