Babu Lal Marandi, the BJP State President and Leader of Opposition in Jharkhand, has leveled serious accusations against the state government, alleging a deliberate strategy to invent new crimes as a means to hide prevailing criminal activities. According to Marandi, this practice of manufacturing offenses to conceal underlying issues has become an ingrained habit for the government and its associated systems. Recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) operations targeting the powerful coal mafia in Dhanbad have reportedly exposed shocking truths. A particularly disturbing revelation suggests that senior police officials, allegedly profiting from the coal trade’s illegal wealth, have tasked individuals with eliminating key operatives of the coal mafia permanently.
Intelligence suggests that witnesses being interrogated by the ED are now targets of murder conspiracies, aimed at preventing any disclosure of incriminating information. Marandi drew upon historical instances within Jharkhand where staged ‘encounters’ were used to eliminate evidence and silence potential witnesses. He cited the example of a former Director General of Police (DGP) who faced accusations of orchestrating killings for hire and was widely condemned as the most corrupt police chief in the state’s history, with even governing party members voicing these concerns. Marandi strongly advised the ED to proceed with extreme caution, highlighting that in Jharkhand, power resides with those who bury the truth, not those who reveal it. He warned that when the nexus between power, the establishment, and criminal elements solidifies, the perversion of justice is almost guaranteed.
