FIR with out naming PCPA filed by railway officer not GRP: CPM

RAJDHANI-CPI(M)

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI) Charging India's Railway
Minister Mamata Banerjee with "shielding" Maoists, the
Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Saturday said that a
railway officer, and not the state government-controlled
Government Railway Police (GRP), had lodged a complaint on the
Rajdhani siege without naming the Maoists or their frontal
outfit People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCPA).

Among the two FIRs lodged on the October 27 incident,
one was filed by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) which
specifically charged the Maoist-backed PCPA with holding up of
the Delhi-bound train in West Midnapore district of India's
eastern state of West Bengal.
The other FIR was filed by the Station Manager of the
Jhargram railway station, Niranjan Singh, at the police
station of the GRP and not by the GRP itself, senior CPI(M)
leader Nilotpal Basu said here.
He said Singh lodged FIR Number 6/09 dated October 28,
"which did not contain any specifics about the incident and
did not even name the PCPA which had publicly claimed
responsibility, not to speak of the violence perpetrated
against the passengers, the drivers and the police."
"The fact that a railway officer filed a complaint at
the GRP police station and did not mention the PCPA as being
responsible for the siege, clearly shows the attempts of the
Railway Ministry and the Minister herself to shield and gloss
over the role of Maoists in the incident," Basu said.
He said the Trinamool Congress party and some central
leaders were "deliberately distorting facts" to show as if the
state government-controlled GRP had not mentioned the PCPA in
the FIR, the CPI(M) leader charged. PTI ARC
