Many jounalist brothers are asking me about BSF deployment. I categorically state that BSF troops are not involved in this henious crime. The nearest BSF Company location is about 35 kms from the incident area. BSF does not operate in this area since it is quite away from our jurisdiction . Hence BSF is in no way connected even remotely with this case stated JC Nayak,DIG, PRO BSF.
