Jharkhand Director General of Police T P Sinha has sent a letter to Chief Minister Babulal Marandi accusing the Bihar government of using the police for harassing his Patna-based family soon after Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Laloo Yadav was remanded to jail, highly placed official sources said on Friday.
Sinha alleged in his letter that soon after the court of designated CBI judge H C Mishra rejected the bail plea of Laloo Yadav on November 26, Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi reportedly rang him up and accused him of 'being involved in the conspiracy that landed her husband in jail'.
The DGP claimed that about 11:00 pm the same night, Bihar police barged into his Kadam Kuan residence in Patna on the pretext of carrying out a security check and allegedly misbehaved and intimidated his family members, the sources said.
The Bihar chief minister had also allegedly threatened the DGP of 'consequences' after his retirement in a month's time, when he returned to Patna, the sources said.
When contacted, Sinha neither confirmed nor denied it.
Chief Secretary V S Dubey confirmed that he had received information about the incident.
"But I can comment on it only after I have had a look at the contents of the DGP's letter to the chief minister," he said.
Meanwhile, intelligence department sources here said it had conducted an inquiry on the basis of the DGP's allegations and found them to be true. A report on this had been sent to the Union home ministry, the sources added.
