Ranchi, Nov. 13 -- BJP state president and Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi accused the Hemant Soren government of shielding a nexus between gangster Sujit Sinha and former DGP Anurag Gupta.
Marandi said he will write to the National Investigation Agency seeking a comprehensive probe into what he described as an organised network of extortion, illegal trade and political protection.
He said Gupta's elevation as DGP during the previous government was the result of a "give and take arrangement".
He alleged that the former police chief was brought in to protect illegal operations involving sand, coal, stone and liquor.
He also referred to earlier controversies linked to Gupta, including an alleged degree scandal at Magadh University.
