( November 04, 2012, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Special Investigation Team which had been constituted to investigate into the Assassination of Shri Rajiv Gandhi had comprised in it Mr.DR Karthikeyan who was Inspector General of Police/Joint Director of Criminal Bureau of Investigation and the Chief of the Special Investigation Team, 5 Inspectors General of Police, 8 Superintendants of Police from Criminal Bureau of Investigation,14 Deputy Superintends of Police and 44 Inspectors of Police.
The Chief Investigating officer was one of the Superintendents of police Mr.K.Ragothaman who has written a book in Tamil under the caption “Rajiv Gandhi Kolai Vazhaku” in November 2009 which has been published by Kizhakku Pathippagam, Chennai. The Chief Investigating officer who, at page No.205 in Chapter 30-‘May Speak Henceforth’, pours forth the distress, a sense of contrition and feelings of remorsefulness for the deliberate failure on the part of the chief of Intelligence Bureau Mr.M.K.Naraynanan in returning the video cassette with which the videographer was video graphing the sequence of events in the course of the political rally at the place at Sriperumpudur some time before the incident of bomb blast. But the question is whether such belated spurt of feelings was genuine or spurious or it was a an act of pretence of excuse for some act of failure on the part of the Special Investigation Team in general or knowingly had the Chief Investigating officer Mr.K.Ragothaman been privy to things which he ought not to have done but he had done much against his Will and conscience and contrary to principles of justice has to be assessed a fresh in the light of a Television programme telecast in Times Now TV at 9.PM on 30.10.2012.
