COVER STORY:

Saving Capt Seshasai?

The Directorate of Shipping Services is in news once again for wrong reasons. Capt Seshasai has been repatriated to his parent organization. However, it is learnt from highly placed sources that former Chief Secretary Shakti Sinha, who was the Secretary, Shipping during the Capt Seshasai misdemeanors had met the incumbent Chief Secretary at Capital and what conspired between them is anybody’s guess. But, a very orchestrated game is being played to derail the investigation procedure by trying to send the case to CVC. When the Director and his cronies can be easily prosecuted based on the charges framed against him, why there is a move to send the case to CVC?

The investigation is over and charges proved beyond doubt, charge sheet prepared, and just prosecution approval pending, a major ploy is set to save oneself in the pretext of saving Capt Seshasai. There is more to what is visible to the naked eye. It won't be surprising if the case gets transferred to CVC as players are big and powerful.
