Davy lying about arms drop: Govt

Any new facts emerging at any time will be looked into by the CBI in a professional manner,it said

The government on Saturday rejected the charge that any official agency had “connived or helped” the Purulia arms drop case accused to destabilise the Jyoti Basu government in West Bengal in 1995.

The recent allegations by proclaimed offender in the case,Kim Davy,“are mischievous and aimed at misleading the prosecuting agency and a court in Denmark which is seized with the matter of his extradition to India to face trial”,the government said in a statement. “Notwithstanding what Kim Davy and Peter Bleach,a convict in this case,have said to a section of the media,the fact remains that no government agency connived or helped them in their heinous act.”

“Any new facts emerging at any time will be looked into by the CBI in a professional manner”,it said.

On Friday,the CBI had dismissed Davy’s claims that the arms dropping in Purulia was carried out by “political forces” at the Centre to destabilise the Left government.
