Port Blair, May 03: Nearly two weeks ago Andaman Sheekha had published a news article about a suspected murder at Burmanallah. In this case, on 16 April, Police had found a half burnt body of a 27 year old youth namely Ramesh, a former security guard, from a Japanese Bunker of Burmanallah.
But even after more than two weeks the Police Department has failed to crack this case. According to highly placed sources, the police has also received the post mortem report nearly a week ago.
Sources also told Andaman Sheekha that a Sniffer dog was taken to the spot of the murder by a team of Police for investigation from where the dog took the police team to a house but the team could not go inside the house as they were not having warrant to enter inside private property.
When contacted, the Superintendent of Police of South Andaman, Mr Sibesh Singh said that police is trying its level best to crack the case but till now the inputs are inconclusive.
He agreed that a sniffer dog was used in this case but after four or five days of crime it becomes too difficult for a sniffer dog to give right indications.
About post mortem report he said that police has got only interim post mortem report. The Doctors have some doubts for which the specimens have been sent for Forensic Science Lab and once the FSL give report, the report will be handed over to the doctor concerned. He said only after that police will get some conclusive report.
Meanwhile it has been learnt that the Police has also scanned the call details of the accused to reach to the bottom of the case.

Port Blair, April 22: A couple who had cheated a number of innocent people as well as many prominent businessmen and escaped to Mainland has been trapped by the Tylerabad Police after nearly five months long investigation.

According to reports, the accused Mr Sarvana was running a multi brand two-wheeler showroom in the name of AMS automobiles at Bhathubasthi and used to sell and purchase second hand bikes and also used to arrange finance for customers for purchasing bikes and in the name of arranging finance for the customers he used to take the customer’s document and also a token money from the customers for arranging the full amount.

But for many customers Mr Sarvana neither arranged finance for the customers nor provided bikes.

The accused used to sell and purchase of motorcycles from many dealers of authorised brand at Port Blair on credit basis against post dated cheques. According to public in the month of December 2014 suddenly he went underground.

Sources said that the Mr. T Sarvana used to issue fake cheques from his wife’s account. They had also taken money from two banks and became defaulters. Not only this he purchased four wheelers on loan from Andaman and took that to mainland, without informing anyone.

After nearly five month long investigation the accused was finally brought down to Andaman along with his wife on Saturday 18th April 2015. When they were produced to court they were sent to JC Remand by the court.

Now it has been learnt that showing some fake excuses, the said couple is now planning to apply for bail and trying to come out of Jail, which has left all victims upset.

“The court must consider suffering of all the victims and reject their bail application. If they get bail they will again escape from Andaman and will again go underground,” said a victim.
