Narada sting: Mamata Banerjee, Rajeev Kumar and a Salvador Dali-esque probe order

Firstpost  

Mamata Banerjee, who as home minister is also in charge of the police, already believes that a conspiracy via a so-called sting was hatched to malign her party’s image just before the polls and create suspicion among the voters. The surreal order There was almost a Salvador Dali-esque quality in the chief minister’s statement as she ordered that Kolkata’s top cop, the controversial Rajeev Kumar, will head a “comprehensive inquiry” into the Narada News sting operation in which several TMC leaders were purportedly shown accepting wads of cash from a journalist posing as a representative of a fictitious company. However, within two days of getting re-elected into power, the Chief Minister reinstated Kumar as the Kolkata Police commissioner and ‘banished’ Mitra to the post of ADG, West Bengal Police. As former Supreme Court judge Ashok Kumar Ganguly has pointed out, with the Calcutta High Court conducting a probe, it was “not proper” to hold a parallel inquiry.
