Ranchi, August 1: Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday ordered a Crime Investigation Department (CID) probe into the allegations by a minor girl that she was raped by some persons, including two police officers, and then blackmailed by them.

This comes after the girl, a resident of Jamshedpur, complained to him that she was raped by the accused who also made a video to blackmail her, during the ‘Sidhi Baat’ programme of the chief minister. She accused three persons along with MGM police station in-charge and a deputy superintendent of police rank officer of rape, the release said.

Jamshedpur Superintendent of Police Anoop Birtharay said in the release that three persons were arrested and sent to judicial custody while a probe is on into the alleged involvement of the two police officers into the crime. Following this, the chief minister assured the girl of justice and ordered the CID probe.

Last year, Raghubar Das asked government officials to work and find solutions to people’s problems with sensitivity. Das, who was speaking at a ‘Sidhi Baat’ (direct contact) programme, asked the deputy commissioners and superintendents of police of the state to understand the sensitivity of victims of extremism and solve issues faced by them. The Chief Minister further said people should not be made to come repeatedly to officers with their complaints and instead should be provided with early solutions to their problems.
