The Superintendent of Police, Imphal West District Police has
clarified that Inspector of Special Intelligence Unit, K Ranjit, who led
the team behind the seizure of a large haul of smuggled tablets at
Imphal Airport, was transferred as he ignored official norms which
resulted in the smugglers making good their escape.
In a clarification to the news items carried in local dailies, a statement from the police released on Tuesday stated that the SIU was primarily formed with the personnel drawn from different units of Imphal West District Police as an internal administrative arrangement of the district police to facilitate in carrying out drives against offenders of vehicle thefts and fake document and certificate and counterfeit currency rackets. It added that in cases related to contraband drug cases and other contraband products, the task are normally entrusted to Narcotic Cell, which is another unsanctioned unit of the state police department.
Normally, whenever there is any intelligence input pertaining to any such crimes is received by the Narcotic Cell or SIU, the information is immediately passed on to the SP, under whom the units functioned directly. The SP in turn directs the concerned police station to tie-up with the Narcotic and SIU and investigate the case jointly, the statement added.
However, during the seizure of contraband drugs from the airport on January 11, the SIU team under the command of Inspector Ranjit acted independently without informing the SP although he was available for correspondence. The statement noted that had the SIU team informed the SP or the concerned police station, the owners of the seized drugs would also have been captured on that day itself.
It added that because of the hectic efforts put by the officer-in-charge of Narcotic Cell, Imphal West and Singjamei Police, one of those involved in the racket, Md Rajauddin, 29, son of Md Riyazuddin of Lilong Sambrukhong was arrested on January 18 after the SIU was winded off.
The statement further clarified that the detection of smuggling of drugs transported through air cargo is a difficult task as the identities of both the senders and receivers are usually fictitious. It added that despite the odds, the district police have been able to detect and identified the owners of the drugs transported through air cargo in a number of cases.
The issue of using fictitious name by drug smugglers in transportation of the cargo have been taken up seriously by DGP himself and had already taken up the case with the appropriate authorities under the Narcotic Control Bureau, New Delhi and Bureau of Civil Aviations, New Delhi, the statement added. After the transfer of Inspector Ranjit, the same function of the SIU is being continued by the Narcotic Cell, Imphal West, it added.
