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.

Sanjay Raut demands re-election, alleges irregularities in EVMs during Maharashtra polls
Mumbai, Nov 25: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday demanded a re-election in Maharashtra using ballot papers, claiming there were irregularities with the electronic voting machines (EVMs).
Talking to reporters, Raut alleged several complaints about EVMs malfunctioning and questioned the integrity of the recently held elections.
The BJP-led Mahayuti won 230 out of 288 seats in the assembly elections, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi managed 46 seats, with Shiv Sena (UBT) winning just 20 out of 95 seats it contested.
"We have received nearly 450 complaints regarding EVMs. Despite raising objections repeatedly, no action has been taken on these issues. How can we say these elections were conducted fairly? Hence, I demand that the results be set aside and elections be held again using ballot papers," Raut said.
Citing some instances, he said a candidate in Nashik reportedly received only four votes despite having 65 votes from his family, while in Dombivli, discrepancies were found in EVM tallies, and election officials refused to acknowledge the objections.
The Sena (UBT) leader also questioned the credibility of the landslide victories of some candidates, saying, "What revolutionary work have they done to receive more than 1.5 lakh votes? Even leaders who recently switched parties have become MLAs. This raises suspicions. For the first time, a senior leader like Sharad Pawar has expressed doubts about EVMs, which cannot be ignored."
Asked about the MVA's poor performance in the elections, Raut rejected the idea of blaming a single individual.
"We fought as a united MVA. Even a leader like Sharad Pawar, who commands immense respect in Maharashtra, faced defeat. This shows that we need to analyse the reasons behind the failure. One of the reasons is EVM irregularities and the misuse of the system, unconstitutional practices, and even judicial decisions left unresolved by Justice Chandrachud," he said.
Raut stressed that though internal differences might have existed within the MVA, the failure was collective.
He also accused the Mahayuti of conducting the elections in an unfair manner.
"I cannot call the elections fair given the numerous reports of discrepancies in EVMs, mismatched numbers, and vote irregularities across the state," Raut said.
