AGARTALA, Oct 3 (TIWN): When journalists are agitating in demand of CBI investigation in Santnau murder case, Tripura ICA Minister Bhaulal Saha rejected CBI's intervene in Santnau murder case. Saha said, "SIT is being set for Santanu murder case and CBI investigation is right now not needed". Saha also said, "Tripura Govt has trust on SIT and only SIT can do proper justice in Santanu murder case. SIT is doing its best in Santnau murder case's investigation'', Saha added. On the other side in demand of CBI probe in brutally killed journalist Santanu Bhowmik's murder case, Tripura journalists have shown mass agitation at Mandai on Tuesday. The team of journalists had protested on the exact spot where Santanu was murdered on Sep-20. The agitation was shown when ICA Minister announced about the SIT probe to Santanu murder case.

The Cabinet discussed the murder and decided to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by a senior Indian Police Service officer to probe it," Information and Finance Minister BhanulalSaha told reporters after the cabinet meeting, presided over by Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, who also holds the home portfolio.

After 12 days of the incident also Tripura police couldn’t recover Santanu’s mobile but if the case had submitted under CBI the mobile could be recovered long back.

 But the state govt has delayed the case for 5 days already and till day the govt has no intention to demand CBI’s intervention in Santanu murder case. Why is Manik Sarkar much afraid to hand over the case to CBI ???

In Santanu murder case, CBI investigation is must !Why ? Tripura has experienced loopholes in police investigation from Bimal Sinha murder case to AnuaraChaudhury and lack of seriousness in Santanu murder case has alreday started.

When comes about Santanu murder case, Santanu was beaten at around 2 PM and then brought to GB almost after 3 hours with the lifeless body.

When TIWN called Mandai police at night 9 PM police instead of cooperating said they had no proper information. Not only this police also didn't registered any case on the incident till latenight. 

However, it has been confirmed since Sep-19 as the violence-fire was intentionally created by CPI-M but by mistake a journalist was killed instead of any common Bengali fellow and thus CPI-M fell in own trap by killing a TV journalist.
