Lucknow: Suspended IPS officer Amitabh Thakur and his wife Nutan Thakur on Sunday staged a sit-in at the Gandhi statue charging Lucknow police with giving "clean chit" to SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav in an alleged threat case. Nutan also claimed that the investigating officer failed to verify Amitabh's allegation on the "direct pressure" of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
She also criticised the ivestigating officer for swiftly closing the FIR registered by her against Mining minister Gayatri Prajapati and accusing her of registering false FIR, all within a period of three days in extremely swift and superficial investigation.
"We openly state that this has been done at the direct pressure of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. The investigating officer was not supposed to undertake Amitabh's character analysis but to verify his allegations, which was not done," social activist Nutan alleged.
"We have come to know that the police has filed a closure report on which the CJM court has issued a notice to Amitabh to place his response on November 16, but we have not received the same so far," she said.
The suspended IPS officer had accused the SP supremo of allegedly threatening him on July 10, after which he had approached the local police and later to the court. The court, thereafter, had on September 16 ordered police to file an FIR against the SP chief.
The court observed that after going through facts provided by Thakur, it appeared to be a case under 506 IPC (punishment for criminal intimidation).
"We expressed our regret at having registered these genuine FIRs. We both also publicly declared that as long as Akhilesh is the CM, even if we are killed, we will not
register any more FIR against any of his men because ultimately the FIR is going to fall upon us," Nutan said.
