Murder for just 50 Rup (Crime Patrol : Episode 105 - 27th April 2012)
Crime Patrol : Mysterious Murder Of Transport Driver Dinesh - Episode 105 - 27th April 2012
“I smoked heroin for a long, long time but since two years I only inject. It’s cheaper and somehow the same,” said Darminder, his clothes and body marked by an seemingly endless life on the street, his eyes sad and tired by years of constant pharmaceutical drug abuse. A few hours later the 17-year-old boy from Bihar was dead. In an argument about money for more drugs, he was brutally beaten by supposed friends and was left to die in a dirty alley next to a waste picker colony. The police later had him dumped at the local hospital’s morgue and he, as many others, disappeared far before his time. Darminder became a victim of a medicine actually produced for a different purpose; to ease pain, to heal, to help people.
While worldwide the numbers of heroin users is constantly increasing, another much more disturbing form of drug abuse is growing steadily, yet largely unrecognized. Pharmaceuticals, especially opium derivatives, meant for a totally different clientele, are on the rise to dominate the drug market in 3rd world and threshold countries. Either the medicine is copied from the original product and reproduced in underground labs or dubious agents of pharmacy companies strike deals they were never supposed to. In the end, the offered product is meant for one purpose only, to make money by exploiting the user’s addiction.
In the India of the 21st century, this kind of drug abuse has become a disturbing phenomenon leading to catastrophic consequences. While the homeless people of every age tranquilize their daily struggle other clients have entered the stage a long time ago: from simple day laborers earning a small living for their families while working at the nearby, gigantic, vegetable and fruit wholesale market, to municipal employees easing their responsibilities in the job with a little injection here and there. What was once unimaginable, especially in a life full of social and religious responsibility, has become a sad reality.
The choice of drugs available is vast and offers everything, for everybody, for every circumstance of life. Purchasing these drugs is as easy as buying cough syrup at the supermarket and one just has to pass by at one of the many pharmacies spread all over the big cities and small villages to purchase whatever one feels like. The medicine, not supposed to be given to anyone without prescription from a doctor, is sold for a price even the poor can afford. An ampule Buprenorphine (a semi-synthetic opioid actually used to treat opioid addiction), an ampule Diazepam (a benzodiazepine derivative drug also known as Valium), an ampule Avil (a antihistamine which lessens the side effects of the two other drugs) and two disposable syringes are sold for 50 Rupees, a little less than 1 USD.

Dilshan murder case: Ex-Army man gets lifer
20 Apr 2012 A Court in Chennai on Friday (April 20) sentenced life imprisonment to a former army officer, who was arrested for allegedly killing a 13 year-old-boy accidentally in 2011. The police arrested Retired Lieutenant Colonel, Kandasamy Ramraj last year in July for allegedly shooting down 13-year-old Dilshan with his personal revolver while the boy was trespassing into the defence area.
On Friday a special fast track court accused Ramaraj of the crime and sentenced him life imprisonment. Advocate, Maran told reporters that on the basis of circumstantial evidences and the statements made by the eyewitnesses the court arrived at this judgement. He said that Ramraj had tried to tamper with the vital evidences from the crime scene, whilst the police zeroed in on him with the help of the boy who informed them about the suspicious actions of Ramraj.
"After the occurrence this man came out of his and tried to destroy the evidences from the occurrence places. Subsequently he went to his and bring some articles in a lengthy bag and kept them in his car and drove his car towards the beach road," said Maran. Ramraj had earlier confessed his crime after intense interrogation, the assault weapon, which the accused had thrown in River Coouam was recovered. Dilshan's mother expressed her happiness over the verdict and thanked lawyers and judge for granting justice to them.
"I am very happy about the punishment and it has been given in a very short period. I thank the federal investigating agency, the advocate and the judge who supported us in getting the justice," said mother of the deceased teenager Dilshan, Kalaivanai. However lawyers of Ramraj said that it was not a fair trial and they would appeal in high court.
"Obviously the only move that is left that is going for an appeal. We feel that our contentions made before the lower court has not been taken in the right perspective and quite a lot thanks to the media also the way this whole thing has been hyped across. Is some thing where things have not been gone in a very-very fair trial so we will see what opportunities we have before the high court and take that from their," said advocate, Gaurav Chaterjee.
In July last year, Dilshan from a Chennai slum was shot dead while he was plucking almonds from a tree in the compound of an Army complex. The incident took place at the Island Grounds Army Residential complex in Chennai. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa had ordered an investigation by the Crime Branch. As there were no eyewitnesses, the police had to trace mobile phone signals to verify the movements and presence of officers in the Army quarters.
Investigators also used divers to recover the weapon that was allegedly used to kill Dilshan. Police said Dilshan was shot in the head with a Springfield rifle. A post-mortem confirmed the teenager died from a bullet injury to the head. The ballistic report said the shrapnel found from Dilshan's body and the injury matched the ammunition used to fire from the weapon recovered.

दिलशान केस में पूर्व आर्मी अफसर को उम्रकैद की सजा
इस घटना के बाद आर्मी अधिकारी ने उस बच्चे का नाम आतंकवाद के साथ जोड़ा था। जब ये घटना तूल पकड़ने लगी तो मुख्यमंत्री जयललिता ने मामले की जांच क्राइम ब्रांच से करवाने का आदेश दे दिया था। इस मामले में फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट ने 50 से ज्यादा लोगों से पूछताछ की और दोषी आर्मी अफसर को उम्र कैद की सजा सुनाई।
गौरतलब है कि जुलाई 2011 में तमिलनाडु की सीबी-सीआईडी ने मामले में सफलता प्राप्त करते हुए कंडास्वामी रामराज को गिरफ्तार किया था जिसने घटना में शामिल होने की बात कबूल कर ली थी। पुलिस के विशेष दल ने 58 बर्षीय (सेवानिवृत्त) लेफ्टिनेंट कर्नल रामराज को गिरफ्तार करने के साथ ही उस हथियार को भी बरामद कर लिया था जिससे दिलशान की हत्या की गयी थी।
दिलशान को उस वक्त गोली मारी गयी थी जब वह सेना के आवासीय इलाके में घुस कर बादाम तोड़ रहा था। रामराज अप्रैल में सेवानिवृत्त हुए थे और उनका कार्यकाल बढ़ा दिया गया था। उन्होंने कहा था कि रामराज ने अपराध कबूल कर लिया है और पुलिस को बताया कि वह पास के इलाकों से बादाम तोड़ने के लिए लगातार लड़कों के आने से नाराज थे और इसके चलते उन्होंने यह कदम उठाया।

On December 19, 68-year-old Sanskrit teacher DK Joshi was found dead with a head injury caused by a blunt object and stab wounds inflicted by scissors on his neck. The incident came to light when his son asked his cousin to visit his father as he was not attending his calls from the US. Police found the body on the floor of the drawing room.
"We knew the names of the boys who had lived as Joshi's tenants. But we didn't have their addresses. We did an extensive search on facebook and got their personal details. We detained the boy from his uncle's residence in Gurgaon. His father is a businessman while his sister is pursuing second year MBBS," Deputy Commisioner of Police (south) HGS Dhaliwal said on Tuesday.
"The accused used to live as a tenant at the time. The deceased had a few more young tenants and bonded well with them," a senior police officer said.
According to Dhaliwal, the boy came to Delhi last Thursday, armed with a khukri (a Nepali short bent knife).
"He told one of his school friends that he could arrange a job for him and went to his house to take his motorcycle. He also arranged some interviews for him. The teenager then took him to Vasant Kunj on the pretext of collecting some money," Dhaliwal said.

"The khukri got damaged as the boy hit the teacher. Then he stabbed him with scissors. He also searched the house and laid his hands on whatever he could find.
He returned to where his friend was waiting for him with a laptop, three wine bottles and a mobile phone in a bag," Dhaliwal said. Joshi moved to his Vasant Kunj home seven years ago. He was living alone after his wife died in 2008.

सत्येन्द्र कुमार दूबे का जन्म बिहार के सिवान जिले में हुआ था। वे भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण में परियोजना निदेशक के पद पर कार्यरत थे। सत्येन्द्र दूबे द्वारा स्वर्णिम चतुर्भुज परियोजना में व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार को जनता के सामने लाये जाने के कारण उनकी हत्या 27 नवंबर 2003 में गया जिले में हो गई थी।
प्रारंभिक जीवन और शिक्षा
सत्येन्द्र के पिता का नाम श्री बागेश्वरी दूबे और माता का नाम श्रीमती फूलमती देवी था। उनका जन्म बिहार प्रांत के सिवान जिले के शाहपुर ग्राम में हुआ था। मध्यम वर्गीय परिवार में जन्मे सत्येन्द्र ने 15 वर्ष की आयु तक की अपनी प्रारंभिक शिक्षा अपने गांव में ही प्राप्त की और उसके बाद आगे की शिक्षा के लिए इलाहाबाद चले आए। इलाहाबाद में इनका विद्यार्थी जीवन बड़ा ही संघर्षपूर्ण था। इसके पश्चात 1990 में इन्होंने भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान के सिविल अभियांत्रिकी विभाग में प्रवेश लिया और 1994 में स्नातक की परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण की। इसके पश्चात इन्होंने काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय में परास्नातक में प्रवेश लिया और यह परीक्षा सम्मान के साथ उत्तीर्ण किया। बचपन से ही सत्येन्द्र की गणना प्रतिभाशाली विद्यार्थियों में होती थी।
बाद का जीवन
सत्येन्द्र ने भारतीय अभियांत्रिकी सेवा की परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण की जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप उन्हें सन् 2002 में भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण में परियोजना निदेशक का पद मिला। इस पद पर काम करते समय उन्हें स्वर्णिम चतुर्भुज परियोजना में कार्य करने का मौका मिला। इस परियोजना में कार्य करते समय उन्हें बहुत बडे़ स्तर पर हो रहे भ्रष्टाचार और वित्तीय अनियमिताओं का पता चला। विभाग के ठेकेदारों और इंजिनियरों की साठ-गाठ से भ्रष्टाचार का धंधा खूब फल फूल रहा था। सत्येन्द्र ने अपने ही विभाग के कुछ भ्रष्ट अधिकारियों और इंजीनियरों के खिलाफ कार्यवाही की और उन्हें निलंबित किया।
भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ संघर्ष
सत्येन्द्र ने इसके बाद भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ एक मुहीम शुरू कर दी और अपने विभाग में हो रही दूसरी अनियमितताओं पर भी ध्यान केन्द्रित किया। उन्होंने इन अनियमितताओं के बारे में अपने विभाग के निदेशक और अन्य अधिकारियों को पत्र भी लिखा लेकिन किसी ने भी उनकी बातों पर ध्यान नहीं दिया। इन शिकायतों के परिणाम स्वरूप उनका स्थानांतरण गया जिले में कर दिया गया। गया जिले में भी उन्होंने अपनी भ्रष्टाचार के विरुद्ध मुहीम में कोई कमी नहीं आने दी। सत्येन्द्र को इन सभी के फलस्वरूप धमकियां भी मिली।
प्रधानमंत्री को पत्र
उच्च स्तर पर व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार को देखते हुए सत्येन्द्र ने इसकी शिकायत प्रधानमंत्री से करने का निर्णय लिया और एक विस्तृत पत्र लिखा। उस गोपनीय पत्र में सत्येन्द्र ने भ्रष्टाचार पर विधिवत प्रकाश डाला और उसे प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय को भेज दिया। भ्रष्टाचार की गंभीरता को देखते हुए सत्येन्द्र ने उस पत्र में अपना नाम गोपनीय रखने का अनुरोध किया था। बाद में यह देखा गया कि सत्येन्द्र के अनुरोध के बाद भी कार्यालय अधिकारियों ने उस पत्र को सत्येन्द्र के नाम के साथ अलग अलग विभागों में अग्रसारित कर दिया।
सत्येन्द्र की हत्या
सत्येन्द्र की हत्या तब हो गई जब वे बनारस से एक विवाह समारोह के बाद घर लौट रहे थे। वे बनारस से गया तक ट्रेन द्वारा पहुंचे और उसके बाद गया स्टेशन से रिक्से द्वारा घर जाते समय रास्ते में गोली मार उनकी हत्या की गई। गया में जे.पी. कॉलोनी के रास्ते में उनका मृत शरीर पाया गया। सत्येन्द्र की मृत्यु ने लोक सभा तक को आंदोलित किया। देश में हो रहे विरोध प्रदर्शनों और सामान्य जनता के असंतोष को देखते हुए सरकार द्वारा उनकी मृत्यु की जांच केन्द्रीय अन्वेषण ब्यूरो को सौंप दिया गया।
भ्रष्टाचार के विरुद्ध आंदोलन
सत्येन्द्र की हत्या से राजनीतिक और सामाजिक स्तर पर एक भूचाल आ गया। भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ काम करने वाली अन्य संस्थाओं ने इस मामले को उठाया। जिसके परिणामस्वरूप सरकार को नीतिगत स्तर पर भ्रष्टाचार को उजागर करने वाले लोगों की पहचान सुरक्षित रखने का नियम बनाना पड़ा। सत्येन्द्र के बलिदान का एक यह सबसे बड़ा परिणाम हुआ कि सरकारी विभागों के भ्रष्ट अधिकारी इमानदार लोगों से डरने लगे। बाद के वर्षों में आया सूचना का अधिकार अधिनियम इस दिशा में मील का एक पत्थर साबित हुआ। यह नियम भ्रष्टाचार को उजागर वाले व्यक्तियों के लिए एक हथियार साबित हुआ।

सत्येन्द्र दुबे हत्याकांड: दोषियों को उम्रकैद मिली
28 मार्च 2010
वार्ता
पटना। प्राधिकरण राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग के अभियंता और प्रधानमंत्री स्वर्णिम चतुर्भज सड़क निर्माण योजना के परियोजना अधिकारी सत्येन्द्र दुबे की हत्या के मामले में विशेष अदालत ने तीन दोषियों को आजीवन कारावास की सजा सुनाई।
उल्लेखनीय है कि बेहद ईमानदार, कर्मठ और निर्भीक अधिकारी के रूप में चर्चित रहे श्री दुबे की बिहार के गया शहर में 27 नवंबर 2003 को हत्या हुई जिसे लेकर राजनीतिक और सामाजिक स्तर पर काफी हंगामा हुआ था और मामले की जांच केन्द्रीय जांच ब्यूरो (सीबीआई) को सौंप दी गयी थी। हत्या के समय सत्येन्द्र प्रधानमंत्री स्वर्णिम चतुर्भुज सड़क निर्माण योजना के परियोजना अधिकारी के रूप में गया जिले में तैनात थे। परियोजना पदाधिकारी के रूप में अपनी पदस्थापना के दौरान सत्येन्द्र ने विभाग में कथित रूप से व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार के संबंध में सीधे प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय को पत्र लिखकर सूचित किया था।
अचानक हुई उनकी हत्या के कारण इस बात की आशंका व्यक्त की गयी थी कि कहीं किसी साजिश के तहत उनकी हत्या न की गयी हो। इसी बात को लेकर मामला काफी चर्चित हुआ था। मामले की प्राथमिकी भी आपराधिक षड़यंत्र के तहत की गयी हत्या भारतीय दंड विधान की धारा 302 और 120 बी के तहत दर्ज की गयी थी।
अनुसंधान की जिम्मेदारी संभालने के बाद सीबीआई ने कई दृष्टिकोण से इस मामले की जांच की। इस दौरान भी यह मामला काफी चर्चित रहा और अखबारों की सुर्खियां बटोरता रहा। मामले की जांच के दौरान गया जिले के एक व्यक्ति की मौत को लेकर सीबीआई को भी काफी परेशानियों का सामना करना पड़ा था लेकिन ब्यूरो के वरिष्ठ पदाधिकारियों की देख-रेख में मामले की जांच जारी रही।
मामले की जांच के दौरान सीबीआई न केवल असली दोषियों तक पहुंचने में सफल रही बल्कि उसने सत्येन्द्र दुबे के लूटे गये सामान को भी बरामद करने में सफलता हासिल की।
जांच के बाद तीन सितम्बर 2004 को सीबीआई ने इस मामले में आरोप पत्र दाखिल किया तब भी यह मामला चर्चा का विषय बना।
सीबीआई ने मामले में छह लोगों को गिरफ्तार किया था, जिनमें से तीन लोगों का विचारण करने और एक अभियुक्त श्रवण कुमार को वायदा माफ गवाह बनाया था। दो अन्य अभियुक्तों के खिलाफ साक्ष्य नहीं पाया गया। सीबीआई ने अपनी जांच में पेशेवर चोरों और लुटेरों द्वारा लूटपाट के दौरान सत्येन्द्र दुबे की हत्या होने का मामला पाया था।
सीबीआई ने किसी आपराधिक षड़यंत्र के तहत सत्येन्द्र दुबे की हत्या किये जाने का सबूत नहीं पाया और भारतीय दंड विधान की धारा 302, 394 तथा शस्त्र अधिनियम की धारा 27 के तहत न्यायालय में आरोप पत्र दाखिल किया था।
अदालत में दाखिल आरोप पत्र और सुनवाई के दौरान गवाहों के बयान से जो मामला उभकर सामने आया उसके अनुसार सत्येन्द्र दुबे अपनी बहन की शादी की बातचीत के सिलसिले में गया से बाहर गये थे और घटना की रात्रि में गया रेलवे स्टेशन से अपने सरकारी आवास को लौट रहे थे कि गया परिसदन के नजदीक अपराधियों ने उन्हें घेर लिया और लूटपाट करने लगे। अभियंता दुबे के हाथ में एक अटैची थी और उसमें उसकी बहन की जन्म कुंडली और फोटो तथा कुछ अन्य जरूरी कागजात थे।
लुटेरों ने जब अटैची छीनने की कोशिश की तो अभियंता दुबे ने इसका विरोध किया। इसी बीच एक लुटेरे मंटू कुमार ने उन्हें पिस्तौल से गोली मार दी जिससे उनकी मौत हो गयी।
बिहार के मूल निवासी अभियंता सत्येन्द दुबे ने अपनी इंजीनियरिंग की पढ़ाई भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (आईआईटी) कानपुर से की। अपनी लगन और मेहनत से उन्होंने भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग अधिकरण में अभियंता के रूप में नौकरी प्राप्त की और बाद में उन्हें प्रधानमंत्री स्वर्णिम चतुर्भुज सड़क निर्माण योजना में परियोजना अधिकारी के रूप में पदस्थापित किया गया था। हत्या के समय अभियंता दुबे गया जिले में पदस्थापित थे।
मामले की सुनवाई पटना व्यवहार न्यायालय में की गयी। मामले की सुनवाई पटना की कई सत्र अदालतों में हुई। सुनवाई के दौरान भी मामला कई बार चर्चा का विषय बना जब इस मामले का एक आरोपी कई बार न्यायालय परिसर से ही न्यायिक हिरासत से पुलिस को चकमा देकर भागने में सफल रहा। बाद में पुन: उसे गिरफ्तार कर मामले की सुनवाई हुई।
मामले की सुनवाई के दौरान सीबीआई ने आरोपों को साबित करने के लिये 33 गवाहों का बयान अदालत में दर्ज करवाया।
सी.बी.आई. ने अपने पहले गवाह के रूप में वायदा माफ गवाह श्रवण कुमार को पेश किया जिसमें अभियंता श्री दूबे की लूट के दौरान हुयी हत्या का पूरा ब्योरा अदालत में पेश किया। सुनवाई के दौरान जब गवाह श्री दुबे के बारे में बोलते हुए काफी भावुक हो जाते थे तो कई बार न्यायालय का माहौल अत्यंत मार्मिक हो जाता था और गमगीन हो जाता था।
सीबीआई ने जिन गवाहों को न्यायालय में पेश किया उनमें अभियंता दुबे के भाई उनके सहपाठी और मित्र भी शामिल थे। सीबीआई ने न्यायालय में अभियंता दुबे के बरामद सामानों को भी न्यायालय में सबूत के तौर पर पेश किया जिसमें उनकी अटैची, उनकी बहन का जन्मकुंडली एवं अन्य जरूरी कागजात थे।
अंतत: मामला अपने अंतिम चरण की सुनवाई के दौरान त्वरित अदालत संख्या पांच के न्यायाधीश राघवेन्द्र कुमार सिंह की अदालत में आया।
सीबीआई की ओर से मामले की पैरवी जिला विधि सलाहकार ए.आर .अंसारी कर रहे थे जो सुनवाई के दौरान ही अवकाश प्राप्त कर गये। तब सीबीआई ने उन्हें इस मामले की पैरवी के लिये अपना विशेष लोक अभियोजक नियुक्ति किया जिन्होंने अंत तक इस मामले की पैरवी की।
वर्ष 2005 में अभियुक्तों के खिलाफ आरोप तय किये गये और पांच वर्षों की सुनवाई के बाद 20 मार्च 2010 को अदालत में मामले के तीनों अभियुक्तों को भारतीय दंड विधान की धारा 302 और 394 तथा अभियुक्त मंटू कुमार को अलग से शस्त्र अधिनियम की धारा 27 के तहत दोषी करार दिया।
वकील नागेन्द्र शर्मा की ओर से आज अदालत में यह बहस की गयी कि यह मामला विरलंतम से विरले मामलों की श्रेणी में नहीं आता है इसलिये इन्हें फांसी की सजा नहीं दी जानी चाहिए। दोषियों की वकील के बहस से सहमत होते हुए अदालत ने तीनों दोषियों को आजीवन कारावास की सजा सुनायी। अदालत ने अपने फैसले में कहा कि दोषियों को आजीवन कारावास की सजा दी जा रही है इसलिये अलग से अन्य धाराओं में कोई सजा नही दी गयी है।
तीनों दोषियों को आज जेल से लाकर अदालत में पेश किया गया। सजा सुनाने के बाद अदालत ने तीनों दोषियों को सजा भुगतने के लिये वापस जेल भेज दिया।

The Inside Story
Satyendra Kumar Dubey (Hindi: सत्येन्द्र कुमार दूबे)(1973 - 27 November 2003) was a project director at the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). He was murdered in Gaya, Bihar after fighting corruption in the Golden Quadrilateral highway construction project.
Early life
Satyendra K. Dubey, the son of Bageshwari Dubey and Phulamati Devi, was born at the village of Sahpur in the Siwan district of Bihar, India. The family of five girls and two boys subsisted on a small piece of land, and Bageshwari also held a low-paying clerical position in a nearby sugar mill.Until the age of 15 he studied at the Gang Baksh Kanodiya High School in Sahpur and then joined junior college at Allahabad, about three hundred kilometers away. Living away from home was a considerable drain on the meager resources of his family. However, he pursued his dream of becoming an engineer, and was admitted to the Civil Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur in 1990, the first person from his village to enter an IIT. He graduated with an excellent academic record in 1994. Subsequently, he did his M. Tech (Civil Engg.) from IT-BHU in 1996.
Professional life
He was selected for the Indian Engineering Service (IES) in 1996, India's top engineering bureaucracy and joined ministry of surface transport. While at the ministry he once called the police when offered a bribe In July 2002 he was employed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Dubey became the Assistant Project Manager at Koderma, Jharkhand, responsible for managing a part of the Aurangabad-Barachatti section of National Highway 1 (The Grand Trunk Road). This highway was part of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) Corridor Project, the Prime Minister's initiative, which aimed to connect many of the country major cities by four-lane limited-access highways totalling 14,000 km, at an overall cost more than USD 10 billion. During this period, Dubey got the contractor of the project to suspend three of his engineers after exposing serious financial irregularities. At one point, he had the contractor rebuild six kilometers of under-quality road, a huge loss for the road contract mafia.
Exposing Corruption
The GQ project had strict controls to ensure that the construction work would be carried on by experienced firms with proper systems. A second independent contract was given for supervision of the project. However, Dubey discovered that the contracted firm, Larsen and Toubro, had been subcontracting the actual work to smaller low-technology groups, controlled by the local mafia. When he wrote to his boss, NHAI Project Director SK Soni, and to Brig Satish Kapoor, engineer overlooking the supervision, there was no action. According to the police's First Information Report (FIR) after his murder, Dubey had been facing several threats following his action against corruption at Koderma. A subsequent FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) named both Soni and Kapoor. In August 2003 when he was transferred to Gaya, a transfer which he opposed since he felt that it did not serve the interests of NHAI. At Gaya, he exposed large-scale flouting of NHAI rules regarding sub-contracting and quality control. At this time he took a departmental test and was promoted as deputy general manager, which made him eligible to take charge as project director. Since there was no project director's post in Gaya, he was likely to be posted to Koderma soon. There was widespread sentiment (based on their pattern of operation), that the criminal nexus, opposed to having him as director, may have been behind his murder.Letter to the Prime Minister
Meanwhile, faced with the possibility of high-level corruption within the NHAI, Dubey wrote directly to the Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, detailing the financial and contractual irregularities in the project. While the letter was not signed, he attached a separate bio-data so that the matter would be taken more seriously. Despite a direct request that his identity be kept secret and despite the letter's sensitive content, accusing some of Dubey's superiors, the letter along with bio-data was forwarded immediately to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Dubey also sent the same letter to the Chairman of the NHAI. Soon Dubey received a reprimand: the vigilance office of NHAI officially cautioned Dubey for the impropriety of writing a letter directly to the Prime minister. In the process, through connections in the NHAI and the Ministry, it is likely that the letter may have reached the criminal nexus running the highway construction projects in Bihar. Following the event, pressure is mounting in India to incorporate a Whistleblower Law.
Great Loot of Public Money: Contents of Letter
The letter said the NHAI officials showed a great hurry in giving mobilisation advance to selected contractors for financial consideration. "In some cases the contractors have been given mobilisation advance just a day after signing the contract agreement."
"The entire mobilisation advance of 10 per cent of contract value, which goes up to Rs 40 crore (USD 10 million) in certain cases, are paid to contractors within a few weeks of award of work but there is little follow up to ensure that they are actually mobilised at the site with the same pace, and the result is that the advance remains lying with contractors or gets diverted to their other activities," it said.
Dubey also highlighted the problems of sub-contracting by the primary contractors like Larsen and Toubro."Though the NHAI is going for international competitive bidding to procure the most competent civil contractors for execution of its projects, when it comes to actual execution, it is found that most of the works, sometimes even up to 100 per cent are subcontracted to petty contractors incapable of executing such big projects," he said. Everyone in the NHAI is aware of the phenomenon of subcontracting but looked the other way. "A dream project of unparalleled importance to the Nation but in reality a great loot of public money because of very poor implementation at every state." wrote Dubey. Finally, he ends: "I have written all these in my individual capacity. However, I will keep on addressing these issues in my official capacity in the limited domain within the powers delegated to me," the letter said.
Murder
On November 27, 2003, Dubey was returning from a wedding in Varanasi, and called his driver to meet him at the station. He reached Gaya railway station at three in the morning, and found that the car was not able to come because of a battery malfunction. It appears that at this point Dubey decided to take a rickshaw home. When he didn’t reach home, his driver went to look for him and found him dead by the side of the road in the suburb of A.P. Colony. He had been shot. The news ignited tremendous public hue and cry. The matter was raised in Parliament, and the Prime Minister shifted the onus of investigation from the Bihar Police (who might themselves be implicated), to the CBI. The CBI registered a case against unknown persons under 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 302 (murder) of Indian Penal Code and various provision under the Arms Act on December 14, 2003.
The investigation
In early investigations, the CBI interrogated the rickshaw puller Pradeep Kumar who was caught using Dubey's stolen cell phone. The mobile phone had been switched off for about a fortnight after the murder, but then Kumar called his 'second wife' in Kolkata, following which the CBI traced the rickshaw puller to his slum in Gaya. Although Kumar had a criminal history in similar cases of robbery, it appears he was released after interrogation, and could not be traced a month later. Two other suspects, Sheonath Sah and Mukendra Paswan, were questioned by the CBI. They were found dead from poisoning on February 1, 2004, within 25 hours of the CBI questioning. Sah's father lodged an FIR against the CBI with the Bihar Police, but CBI Director Umashanker Mishra called their deaths a suicide in a press meeting a few days later. The CBI later arrested four persons, Uday Mallah, Mantu Kumar, Tutu Kumar and Babloo, all belonging to Katari village of Gaya on June 6, 2004. On June 13, the CBI arrested another accused Sarvan Paswan. In conclusion of its investigations, CBI arraigned four persons on September 3, 2004. Based on testimony by Pradeep Kumar, who was his rickshaw puller, the event was presented as an attempted robbery. Because Satyendra put up a fight about giving up his briefcase, he was shot. The person accused of actually shooting Dubey with a country-made pistol was Mantu Kumar, son of Lachhu Singh, of Village Katari, Gaya district. Accomplices with him included Uday Kumar, Pinku Ravidas and Shravan Kumar.
Murderer escapes
Mantu Kumar was arrested from near his home in Panchayatee khada in Gaya. He had apparently been living in Gaya town and working as a rickshawpuller. On September 19, 2005, while the case was being heard in Patna, Bihar in the court of Addl. Session Judge, J M Sharma, Mantu Kumar escaped from the court premises, leading to widespread allegations of police complicity. While Mantu was being held at the high security Beur Jail, the invigilation can be lax during such court appearances, and it is a common tactic of the mafia to organize a few policemen to make it possible for the criminal to escape. It was felt that the escape was engineered by higher-ups who may have executed the murder through Mantu Kumar. The CBI announced a cash reward of Rs. 1 Lakh for apprehending Mantu.Who ordered the murder?
It is possible that Dubey may have been the victim of a simple robbery during which Mantu Kumar shot him, as alleged in the case filed by CBI. However, given the death and disappearance of several witnesses and the startling escape of the prime accused, there is widespread speculation that vested interests may have engaged the criminals who actually pulled the trigger. As for the GQ project, the Supreme Court is currently overlooking investigations into the corruption charges initially raised by the Dubey letter. Several official have been indicted and a technical team is overseeing the actual construction. Also, as of September 2005, news reports indicated that the law ministry was about to introduce legislation to protect whistleblowers. Meanwhile, on 10 February 2006, a 600 meter stretch of the GQ highway connecting Kolkata to Chennai subsided into the ground, opening up ten meter gorges near Bally, West Bengal. This stretch had been executed as a joint venture between two Malaysian firms RBM and Pati, selected after global tendering.
Conviction
More than six years after the murder, on March 22, 2010 Patna Court convicted three accused Mantu Kumar, Udai Kumar and Pinku Ravidas for murdering Dubey. The court convicted accused Mantu Kumar under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 302 (Murder), 394 (Voluntary causing hurt in committing robbery) and 27 (A) Arms Act for possessing unlicensed weapon.The other two accused were convicted under Section 302/34 (Murder committed in furtherance of common intention) and 394 IPC.
Legacy
Dubey's murder drew several protests in India and abroad, especially by the media. Student and Alumni bodies of IITs took the lead in raising this issue. S. K. Dubey Foundation for Fight Against Corruption was founded in the US by Ashutosh Aman (IIT Kanpur, Satyendra's batchmate) and Atal Bansal (IIT Kanpur) to systematically fight against corruption. IIT Kanpur instituted an annual award in his name, Satyendra K Dubey Memorial Award, to be given to an IIT alumnus for displaying highest professional integrity in upholding human values. Arvind Kejriwal, a recipient of this award, went on to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award as well. The Indian Express also announced a fellowship in the name of Dubey. Satyendra Dubey was recognised posthumously by several awards, which included the Whistleblower of the year award from the London-based Index on Censorship, the Transparency International's Annual integrity award and the Service Excellence award from the All India Management Association. On November 26, 2007 NDTV aired a documentary by Mini Vaid on Satyendra Dubey, produced by Ashutosh Aman on behalf of the S K Dubey Foundation. Famous Indian musician Rabbi Shergill has dedicated one stanza in his song titled 'Bilqis (Jinhe Naaz Hai)' from album Avengi Ja Nahin to Satyendra Dubey. This song is a dedication to all those who died in vain or while supporting some cause (anti-corruption).
Institute for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences (IRDS), a Non-governmental organization from Lucknow has been awarding the Satyendra Dubey award for government services in reverence to his contributions to the cause of fighting corruption.
