Jaipur: The case of Rajasthan Police personnel selling the dead bodies of unidentified people was a lapse but not a 'criminal act', according to the Rajasthan government.
Even though the government has admitted that irregularities were committed in disposing of 15 bodies by the Ganganagar police, however, it doesn't believe that it was a 'criminal act'.
CNN-IBN has access to the proceedings of the Assembly where the Rajasthan Home Minister Shanti Kumar Dhariwal told the House two days back that there have been irregularities but added surprisingly that no crime has been committed.
Meanwhile the officials investigating the matter are now questioning the complainant Rajkumar Soni whose RTI application blew the lid off the scam.
However, Soni says he does not trust the police personnel who have been sitting on the case and harassing him for nine months now and has demanded a CBI enquiry into the entire incident.
"The Ganganagar police is involved in the scam so I want a probe by higher authorities or the CBI," says Soni.
Soni lost his 19-year-old son in 2009 and alleged that his dead body was sold by Ganganagar police.
He filed an RTI and exposed what could be a huge racket of selling unidentified bodies, run by personnel belonging to Rajasthan Police.
He was led on a wild goose chase from police stations to cremation grounds before he found that his son Rahul Soni's body was allegedly sold off to the Tantia Medical College in Ganganagar by the Ganganagar police.
He has filed an FIR against the Superintendent of Police and co-administrator of the medical college.
