PATNA: The cat-and-mouse game is on between DIG (railway) Ajay Verma and state police. Catch me if you can, Verma seems to be telling police.
And before the police act, he just disappears. The DIG, against whom a warrant of arrest has been issued in connection with a property dispute case registered in Hajipur, attended his office on Monday.
But before the Vaishali and Patna police carried out a joint raid at his office and residence on Tuesday morning, he disappeared. In fact, the police swung into action after Verma appeared on TV news channels.
Surprisingly, the CID, which is now investigating the case, also failed to react to Verma's audacious move. A senior CID officer said, "How can we react when we are still in the process of collecting case records." To officers in the police headquarters, the Verma episode is becoming more and more curious.
