Cops speak to officer's wife, neighbour

MUMBAI: Police spoke to the wife of senior IPS officer Ranjit Kumar Sahay, who suffered 55% burns in an "unfortunate incident" around Sunday midnight, and recorded the statement of Sahay's neighbour who helped rush him to hospital late on Monday.

The officials remained tightlipped about what they learnt from the two, both key witnesses to the incident at Avanti Apartments in Malabar Hill. Sahay's wife was home at the time of the incident and additional director-general of police (planning and coordination) K L Bishnoi is Sahay's neighbour in the building that is home to top police officers.

Earlier during the day, little headway had been made in uncovering the details of the incident that scalded the 52-year-old additional DGP who is posted with the Maharashtra State Housing and Welfare Corporation because doctors have restricted Sahay from speaking as it could damage his vocal chords.

Home minister R R Patil said the house has been locked up and the keys are with his wife, but echoed state police chief Sanjeev Dayal's statement that no suicide note has been found.

The police have initiated an inquiry and it will take sometime before they reach to any conclusion, he added . "I have spoken to the doctors and the best treatment is being provided to him."

Doctors at Bombay Hospital, where Sahay is admitted in the ICU, said his health condition deteriorated early on Monday and he had to be put on ventilator after difficulty in breathing. The 1986 batch IPS officer suffered burns on the face, neck, scalp and abdomen. His respiratory tract was also badly injured due to inhalation of hot fumes.

Plastic surgeon Dr Vinay Jacob, who is treating Sahay, said his condition continued to be critical but stable . "His face and neck have swollen something common in burn injuries. He has been started on sedatives," he said. Sahay is not completely unconscious though he cannot communicate , said hospital sources.

Some IPS officers suspect it could be attempted suicide, but few were willing to hazard a guess on the possible trigger (see box). "It seems some officers are trying to cover up. Sahay is considered a good officer, but was frustrated. There is also talk that he was not on good terms with his immediate boss, DGP Pravin Dixit, who also has a very clean image," said a senior IPS officer. It is learnt that for several months, Sahay had been meeting senior officials and a few politicians . "We don't know the nature of these meetings," said the officer.

Another theory doing the rounds is that Sahay took the extreme step at his official residence after a fight with his wife over her refusal to serve non-vegetarian food during Ganeshotsav .

Another senior officer who helped the family rush Sahay to hospital said it was Sahay's wife, who doused the fire using water. "She was untouched in the fire and it is wrong to say that Sahay tried to set her on fire," he said, referring to speculation that Sahay had tried to set his family on fire after afight.

Many officers described Sahay as short-tempered and said frequent arguments between him and his wife had been a talking point in the IPS officers' circle. But the senior IPS officer said the idea that Sahay could set himself on fire over non-veg food was far-fetched .
