An important disclosure has been made in the investigation of INSAS rifle and 40 live cartridges stolen from the Mumbai Navy base. According to the Crime Branch investigation, one of the main accused, Agniveer (Navy constable) Rakesh Dubullah’s elder brother and the second accused in the case, Umesh Dubullah was in direct contact with three former Naxalites. These three former Naxalites had previously surrendered, but it is clear from the information received in the investigation that they are secretly contacting Naxalite groups and working for them.
According to sources, Umesh Dubullah had planned to join the Naxalite group in Telangana and this plan was to complete the Navy’s advanced rifle and cartridges by stealing the Navy. In the clues found from the mobile phone, evidence of continuous conversation between Umesh and these former Naxalites has been found. On the basis of these clues, the teams of Mumbai Crime Branch are currently investigating evidence and suspicious contacts by reaching Telangana.
Umesh’s purpose was to become Dalam commander
Officials of the Crime Branch say that the objective of the accused Umesh was to become the Dalam commander and the need for a big weapon to reach the higher position in Naxalite structures. The arrest is from Elgapalli area, which comes in Naxalite affected areas. Therefore, Umesh’s association with Naxal groups and local support was helpful for him. Investigation has also indicated that Umesh also had some grip in the local police station, due to which he must have got secret information.
What did the crime branch come to know
The crime branch is engaged in preparing a strong charge sheet by combining forensic, call-detta and witnesses being collected in Telangana. Officials are also saying that in view of the seriousness of the case, there are more arrests and possibilities of regional raid. An official said that INSAS, AK-47 or SLR level weapons are usually required for the post of Naxal Dalam Commander. The appointment to the post is based on experience and courage. At the same time, small weapons and Naxalite training like three not three, bore pistol or 12-bore are considered mandatory for Naxal Dalam Member.
