A petition has been filed in Madras High Court for a CBI probe in two bomb blast cases that occurred in Nelettai area near a local mosque in November 2013 and March this year.
Syed Abdul Khader, district secretary of Social Democratic Party of India, in his petition before the Madurai bench, submitted that after each recovery or explosion of devices since 2011, police called in 'innocent' Muslims and tortured them using third degree methods.
He said none of the real accused in these cases had been arrested or secured so far.
Khader said a petition filed by a victim was pending in court.
The Petitioner alleged that Inspector Madasamy intimidated him when he went to the police station and asked him to stop illegal activities like torturing those detained.
He also submitted he had given a private complaint before a Judicial Magistrate against those tortured the people.
Meanwhile Madasamy in an interview to a Tamil daily and weekly named two police officers for impeding investigation and arresting the accused and even alleged they had a role to play in planting bombs.
Khader alleged that the SI concerned was trying to issue summons to him as he had represented the victims and feared that such a move would affect the course of investigation.
The truth would come out only if CBI conducted an enquiry, he contended.
Justice R Subbiah then directed the government Pleader to get the instructions from the police officials concerned.
An Improvised Explosive Device, fixed under a lawyer's car went off in Nelpettai on November 20 last year. Another one exploded in the same area on March 14 this year.
