BHUBANESWAR:
The State Government is going to hand over the case of the missing senior
Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) official Ibrahim Sharif to the CBI, reliable
sources said on Wednesday.
The decision was taken by the
State Home Department in the wake of the Commissionerate Police’s failure to
trace the missing officer and his wife Salma Paveen’s continuous demand for CBI
probe.
Recently, the Commissionerate
Police, after ending its inquiry into the missing of Indian Bureau of Mines
(IBM) officer Ibrahim Sharif, has written to the State Home Department to take
further steps to trace the officer.
Twin
City Police Commissioner RP Sharma said
the city police didn’t get any tangible information about the IBM officer. The
police team has already spent more than two months outside of the State to
trace the officer, but in vain.
As it is an inter-State case,
Sharma said, it needs to be probed by a higher agency which has branches across
the country.
Earlier, the Union Ministry of
Mines had called a meeting at the IBM head office in Nagpur
on Friday last in the presence of Ministry officials and IBM officials of Kanpur
and Bhubaneswar where they
discussed about Ibrahim’s missing. The officials had discussed about a
high-level inquiry like that by the CBI to trace the officer.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim’s wife has
already demanded the State Government to recommend a CBI probe into her
husband’s missing case. Even she had urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to
intervene into the matter to trace out her husband.
Ibrahim, who hails from Karnataka
and lived with his family at Nigam Vihar in Phase-II of Kanan Vihar in Bhubaneswar,
has been untraceable after he left for his office on November 25 last year.
