The special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Court on Friday remanded an accused in police custody for allegedly providing the weapon used for killing senior crime reporter J Dey till July 28.

Deepak Sisodia, who had allegedly given the .32 mm US-made revolver to alleged Chotta Rajan aide Satish Kalya near Nainital was arrested by the Nainital police.

Dey (56), working with the city-based English tabloid Mid Day, was shot dead by four motorcycle-borne assailants in suburban Powai on June 11.

Police had claimed that the journalist was eliminated at the behest of gangster Chhota Rajan, who paid Rs 5 lakh to the accused. However, they said the motive behind the killing was not yet clear.

Sisodia is the ninth accused to be arrested in the case.

West Bengal: Killings, arms recovery raise questions about law & order!

KOLKATA: Less than a week after the West Bengal Assembly election results were declared, the killing of six persons in incidents of post-poll violence and the regularity with which illegal firearms are being recovered from certain parts of the State have raised serious questions about the law and order.

Even as all major parties have reiterated the need for maintaining peace irrespective of the outcome, reports of political activists being shot at or beaten up and their houses and party offices ransacked or torched are pouring in almost every hour.

Blame game

The political parties, meanwhile, are blaming each other for the violence.

A Left Front delegation met Governor M.K. Narayanan on Monday and alleged that planned attacks were being mounted on its activists by Trinamool Congress supporters even as Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee was harping on her Badla Noi, Badal Chai (no revenge, we want change) slogan.

But the Trinamool Congress rubbished the charges and alleged that its activists were being attacked by Left Front supporters to avenge their defeat.

However, it is the recovery of more than 400 illegal firearms as well as ammunition and explosives over the past few days that has set the alarm bells ringing in the State administration.

Arms fights and killing are no new skills for both CPM & TMC.
