Four members of the Bansal family committed suicide within two months. In their parting note, they blamed the CBI for pushing them over the edge.
Bansal's wife and daughter had hanged themselves in the same apartment while he was in jail.
In the suicide note, Bansal has alleged that a CBI DIG, two women officers, and a "fat" havildar of the agency had "tortured" his wife and daughter after which they ended their lives.
Two separate suicide notes were recovered. They said that the CBI raid caused them (the family) great humiliation in the society.
A day before he committed suicide, former Corporate Affair DG B K Bansal had visited the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters to submit Income Tax certificate showing that his son Yogesh had disclosed over Rs 2.38 crore of unaccounted income to tax authorities.
'...the CBI, just to force people to implicate me and the CM, has beaten up dozens of people,' Kumar alleged.
'No one institution can cleanse it: Not the courts, government or activists.' 'And least of all the Indian Police Service,' argues Shekhar Gupta.
The tragic replay of events at the house of Bansal, Former Director General Corporate Affairs, in East Delhi's Neelkanth Apartments came to light when the family's maid entered the flat through an "unlocked door" around 9 am.
