BK Bansal sent suicide note to media groups, CBI one day before death

A team of Delhi Police Thursday visited the office of the courier company, reportedly used by Bansal to send the notes, in Laxmi Nagar. Employees of the company told them that two persons had come to their office Monday and enquired about their services. “Later, they sent eight couriers to several media houses, and one to the CBI’s office. They came on their motorbikes… one of them was constantly talking on his cell phone,” added the sources.

However, Deputy Commissioner of Police (east district) Rishi Pal said, “No case has been registered and inquest proceedings have been initiated under Section 174 of CrPC.” In his suicide note, Bansal had said his family — including wife Satyabala and daughter Neha, who committed suicide almost two months ago — were forced to do so because of “harassment and torture” by CBI officials.

He and his son, Yogesh, specifically mentioned a DIG-level official who, they claimed, had threatened the family, said sources. Yogesh, in his suicide note, held the official “responsible for the murder of his mother and sister”, said sources. A joint director-level official of the CBI has been asked to probe the allegations made by Bansal, and asked to submit a report as soon as possible, said sources.
