Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer Alok Ranjan committed suicide by jumping in front of a train in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh. This incident happened on 18 August, but the family members hid the fact that he was an ED officer. Due to this, no one came to know about this suicide for three days. It is believed that he was surrounded by a CBI investigation, perhaps due to this he might have taken this suicidal step. Body found on railway track near Gaushala gate on 18 August
Gaushala railway gate is in Vijaynagar police station area of Ghaziabad. Here, the body of a person was recovered on the railway track on 18 August. Driving license and a slip were found in the pocket. The name Alok Ranjan was written on the slip. The address was written of SN Grand Society located in Rajnagar, Ghaziabad. On this basis, GRP sent information to the family members. They came and identified the body. The post-mortem of the body was done on 19 August and they left with the body. They neither told the police the profile of Alok Ranjan nor clarified the reason for death. GRP also considered it a normal suicide case. Family members hid information from police at the time of incident
On 21st August, it was learnt that ED enforcement officer Alok Ranjan had committed suicide in Ghaziabad. Initial information revealed that he was hit by a train near Sahibabad station. On this information, Sahibabad ACP Rajneesh Upadhyay also started investigating. He called GRP and RPF besides police station. It was learnt that there was no incident of train run over in Sahibabad area. It was learnt late in the evening that this accident had happened near Gaushala gate. Alok Ranjan was an officer in ED, the family members did not tell this to GRP at that time. Probably for this reason this matter remained hidden for three days. When the news of Alok Ranjan committing suicide reached ED headquarters in Delhi, then this incident became public. Alok Ranjan was surrounded by CBI investigation
In fact, on 7th August this month, ED assistant director Sandeep Singh was arrested by CBI on charges of demanding a bribe of Rs 50 lakh. A jeweller from Mumbai had complained to CBI that ED had raided his place a few months ago. After this raid, ED had questioned his son. Assistant Director Sandeep Singh had demanded Rs 50 lakh in exchange for not arresting his son. When CBI was investigating this case, the name of ED officer Alok Ranjan also came up in it. It is being said that ED had questioned Alok Ranjan twice.
