Probe team to revisit riverbed where bodies of two Asaram Ashram boys were found, after water recedes
The CID (Crime) on Monday visited the Sabarmati riverbed from where bodies of the two minor boys, Dipesh and Abhishek, were found, after they went missing from the Asaram Ashram on July 3.
Additional Director General of Police P P Pandey, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) G S Malik and investigating officer H B Rajput were present during the visit along with the officials of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).
The team checked the route from a backside gate of the ashram to the spot from where the two bodies were found. The CID team, however, could not inspect the spot as it was submerged under the Sabarmati waters.
DIG Malik said: “The Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) has stopped releasing water into the Sabarmati and the water level has started receding. We’ll visit the spot as soon as the water completely recedes from the spot.”
“Today, we checked the route from the ashram to the spot from where the two bodies were found. We are trying to find out the route from where the two bodies might have reached the spot in the riverbed,” he added.
The CID (Crime) also plans to make teams of officers to launch an intensive search in the area between the ashram and the spot from where the two bodies were found. “The search might help us discover some evidence in connection with the case,” Malik said.
Later the police team visited the ashram and questioned some of the inmates about the whole incident.
Meanwhile, the CID (Crime) officials have received the FSL report regarding the deaths. Malik said, “We have just received the FSL report and are studying it. More details of the report are not known.”
Additional DGP Pandey said: “The primary postmortem report says that the two boys died of drowning.We are investigating whether the two boys drowned accidentally or were forcibly drowned by some unknown person.”
“We are also in discussion with the doctors to find out if the two boys had sustained any injury prior to their deaths,” he added.
Clean chit to mysterious ashram devotee
The Forensic Science Laboratory has given a clean chit to Sunil Banerjee who had undergone a lie-detection test at the FSL, Gandhinagar.
The above tests were conducted in connection with the mysterious deaths of two minor boys from the Asaram Ashram run gurukul. “The FSL report says that Banerjee was speaking the truth,” said DIG G S Malik.
The boys' bodies were found dead on July 5 on the Sabarmati riverbed two days after they went missing from the ashram.
Banerjee, a devotee at the ashram had first seen the bodies on the riverbed.
Parents of the two boys had called for Banerjee's interrogation to reveal the casue of the boys’ deaths.
