AGARTALA, July 16 (TIWN): During the interrogation of rapist Panna Ahmed who is now behind the bar after court has sent him to three days of police remand Panna is so far unable to satisfy the interrogators as to why he was absconding from the state soon after FIR was registered against him.

Police said Ahmed could not satisfy the interrogators as to why he was absconding from the state soon after FIR had been registered against him. A police source said the investigation focused on his disappearance from the state, which is considered as 'non-cooperation' in the investigation

However, claiming innocence, Ahmed told the media outside the court that he is being victimized.

"During my tenure as sub-divisional magistrate of Sonamura in West Tripura, I had to take steps against many powerful quarters. I am suffering for the good work I did. I did not make any mistake and hope I shall come out of the crisis," he said.

However, according to the preliminary interrogation, Panna left Agartala on July 2 for karimganj with the help of his two aides and there he stayed in hotel for few days until a room was confirmed in the house of one Shefali Deb at karimganj.

However, based on some secret information Tripura police have been conducting raid in almost all the suspected places of the entire NE state for arresting Panna since 8july.  A team was working 24 hours for arresting Panna. As it was a sensitive issue the work of the police force was not disclosed to media as the message would have been than easily reached to the accused and would have made a way for Panna to escape before police could reach to him.
