Dalit engineeer's suicide: Cops face heat
Yagnesh Mehta, TNN | Mar 9, 2011, 11.30pm IST
SURAT: Policemen now face the heat in Vipul Baraiya suicide case.
Baraiya, a Dalit software engineer who was accused of leaking his
company's secrets, ended his life on February 12, hours after being
grilled by the police.
On March 5, Baraiya's family filed a complaint alleging that the
police asked Baraiya to bring his personal computer and his friend's
laptop, which was handed over to his senior Jignesh Shah, manager at
Innovera Software, after questioning.
"The procedure was not followed by the police personnel who questioned
Baraiya on that day as they handed over the computer and laptop to the
complainant. Strict action will be taken against all accused," said
assistant commissioner of police M G Damor, who is investigating the
case. So far, a complaint of atrocity and abetment to suicide has been
lodged against Jignesh Shah and Micky Shah, owner of the firm.
Baraiya was called to the police station on February 12 morning
following Jignesh's complaint. He was questioned by head constable
Devi Singh from the surveillance staff of Umra police station. After
questioning, Baraiya was forced to write a confession saying that he
just sent a mail to a rival firm and had not exchanged any data as
alleged by Jignesh.
To investigate the data leak on his own, Jignesh kept the personal
computer of Baraiya and his friend's laptop. Afraid of being framed,
Baraiya wrote in his suicide note that "Jignesh may plant some data in
my personal computer to prove the charges."
Baraiya resigned from Innovera Software a week before his suicide. The
company officials were blaming Baraiya of leaking software and other
data to competitor firm and tortured him mentally, the victim claimed
in suicide note. Sources in the police said that the head constable
who questioned Baraiya has gone on sick leave. The head constable
allegedly went out of his way to help Jignesh since the dropped the
name of a senior police official, currently posted outside the city,
sources added.
