Havelock, Sept 13: Tourists Hub Havelock Island, which witnessed massive violent protest on Friday night, is now under total control but the anger is still brewing inside.
Andaman Sheekha after detailed inquiry has learnt that during the post mortem it was found that the victim Mr. Amit Das had actually died because of internal head injuries.
According to highly placed sources Amit Das sustained the internal head injuries while he was being brought to police station of Havelock from PHC Havelock.
According to reports, on Thursday night police picked up Amit Das following reports that Amit Das was creating nuisance at Havelock market under the influence of liquor. Following this a police team consisting of head constable Mr. MM Naidu, one constable and another constable driver picked up Amit Das from Bazaar and he was directly taken to PHC Havelock from where it was confirmed by a Doctor that Amit Das was under the influence of liquor.
As per details while bringing Mr Amit Das to police station Havelock, on the way, near Govind Nagar petrol bunk of Mr. Nani Gopal Das @ Guru, Amit Das reportedly tried to escape from the PCR van (at 30 40 KM/ Hour speed) by jumping out of the police vehicle and while trying to do so Mr Amit Das sustained head injuries.
The two policemen present at the spot did not find any major injuries on the body of Amit Das and hence they decided by their own to take him to police station instead of hospital.
At PS Havelock the condition of Amit Das started to deteriorate but by that time Amit Das was handed over to the family members.
Next day early morning at 4.00 am Amit Das developed serious complications and when he was taken to hospital he was declared brought dead.
Meanwhile, as per sources, the police Head Constable and other two police jawans did not disclose the matter of Mr. Amit Das getting injuries, to the SHO of the DySP of Havelock.
Had the police jawan reported about the incident to seniors this entire matter of violence could have been averted and Mr. Amit Das could have been given proper medical attention, it is believed.
Sources say that only after the post mortem, when doctors found internal head injuries inside the skull of Amit Das and police jawans accepted that such incident had happened.
Following this Mr. MM Naidu, one constable and the constable driver were placed under suspension and a criminal case under IPC 302 (homicide) was registered against the officials present on duty.
Meanwhile the case has been handed over to CID and the CID team has already begun the investigation into this matter and hopefully the entire truth will come out very soon.
The case may not be as simple as it looks, there could be other angles too. The CID team is investigating into this matter and Andaman Sheekha is also keeping a close eye in this case to see whether there is a cover up or an effort to mislead the investigation. Andaman Sheekha team will keep updating readers about every single development in this case.
