Justice for Ajitabh: Online campaign demanding CBI enquiry into techie’s missing case
Bengaluru, July 23: Demanding CBI enquiry into the missing case of software engineer Kumar Ajitabh who was missed in last December, an online campaign ‘Justice for Ajitabh’ was launched.
Many people have tweeted demanding CBI enquiry into the Ajitabh missing case. They have urged the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister to handover the case to CBI to arrest the accused in the case. They said that they would not allow the government to sleep over the issue. Today it is Ajitabh and tomorrow, some others. Justice for Ajitabh, tweeted Milind Kumar.
In her tweet, Ajitab’s sister S Prajna said that she has lost confidence on court hearings. The last July 5 hearing had brought her disappointment. Though there was no development in the investigation, the family members have to attend the hearing. Currently, an online campaign was started for Ajitabh and officials concerned should be informed about it. They were demanding for CBI enquiry into the case, she tweeted.
Around 217 days were gone after Ajitabh’s missing. But till date, there was no development. CID has been investigating the case since February 26. They have been cooperating with the police, CID and SIT officials for the last seven months for the investigation. But there was no clue. Without wasting the time, the government should handover the case to CBI investigation as it was related to the security of the people. It was not a prestigious issue for police department, she said.
Ajitabh, hailed from Bihar, has been working for the last five years in Bellandur British telecom and he had shared a post to sell his car in OLX. After this, he used to go out with his car whenever he received the call. On last December 18, he had got a call to his mobile and went out. But he did not come back. He was missing since then.

Three company directors held in Rs 100-crore investment fraud in Kochi
Kochi (Kerala) (PTI): Police on Sunday arrested three directors of a firm accused of cheating hundreds of investors of over Rs 100 crore through a fake investment scheme linked to agricultural tourism here, officials said.
The accused were identified as Muraleedharan, Ashik Murali and Akhil Murali, all natives of Thrissur.
The arrests were made by the Kalamassery police in connection with a fraud involving ATCOS (Agri Tourism Cooperative Society), a firm headquartered at Pathadipalam here.
Police said the company had promised high returns by collecting investments from the public in the agricultural tourism sector, but allegedly cheated hundreds of people and fled with the money.
ATCOS was registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act and operated 13 branches across various districts in Kerala, besides a branch in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, officials said.
When investors failed to receive their promised returns or the invested amount, complaints were filed with the police.
Officials said around 54 cases have been registered against the firm in 32 police stations across the state, including 29 cases at the Kalamassery police station alone.
Following instructions from Kochi City Police Commissioner K S Mahesh Kumar, a special investigation team was formed under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Shehensha and Thrikkakara ACP Manoj Kumar.
The team traced the accused to an apartment in Amala Nagar in Thrissur, where they had been hiding after secretly renting the flat, officials said.
The bank accounts of the accused have been frozen, and steps have been initiated to trace their assets, officials said.
Police also conducted a raid at the company’s office at Pathadipalam and seized several documents related to the case.
The accused were produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Kalamassery, which remanded them to judicial custody and sent them to Kakkanad jail.
Police said they would seek the custody of the accused for further interrogation as the investigation continues.
