The AP police brass has taken up the probe into the attempt to murder SC advocate Vikas Bansode using an IED at Machiliapatnam seriously. Top police officials said experts in the anti-naxal and anti-terror agencies were roped in to inspect the crime scene. However, investigators have raised several questions.
Though the complainant informed the cops that the IED may have been planted to kill Vikas Bansode by the mining mafia of Karnataka what is puzzling cops is the impact an IED planted outside the compound wall will have on targets inside the house. Cops confirmed that the IED was fabricated by experts by analysing the way it was assembled but the way it was planted is suspicious.
An official said, “Certainly this is a professional job. Usually landmines are put under the ground but this was kept openly so that it is visible to people who pass by. The IED had only 300 grams to 400 grams of gelatin sticks. Landmines are planted under culverts or on the road. If their aim is to eliminate the target they could have sent hired assassins or a sharp shooter. We are also looking into the angle that before planting the bomb the suspects may have run away or they might just want to injure the target or threaten him or it is just a mischief.”
Krishna district SP G Vijay Kumar said, “The security officers of the advocate spotted the device and informed us.” DGP J.V. Ramudu said a through probe is on.
We have registered a case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) and the Explosive Substances Act. We are probing all angles including criminal conspiracy."
DGP J.V. Ramudu said a through probe is on. “We have taken up the investigation seriously. It appears to be the handiwork of an expert. We don't want to jump to a conclusion as our specialised agencies are on the job. We are also seeking the help of the Karnataka police,” the DGP said.
