Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 180 CBI Assistant Investigating Commissioner
"I have a request for you," the CBI director continued. "During the investigation, you must always remember that the interests of the national government are paramount. If anything harms the national government and leads to instability, you must stop it. The state director has been in the field for a long time and has good relationships with people in the opposition party, so you can question even the state director's decision and report the situation to me."

Hearing this, Luo Dun's heart trembled.

What's the meaning.

It seems that the power of an intern like me is sky-high.

What does it mean that one can question the decision of the Director of the CBI state bureau?

What does it mean to report the situation to the director?
Does this still count as assisting the investigation?
It is obvious that there is the power of supervision and inspection.

The director's words are too straightforward.

"Director, I will definitely do my best, but I'm afraid I don't have enough ability," said Luoton.

"I'm confident you can handle this," the director said with a smile. "This case requires a police elite like you. Only someone like you can handle it and ensure fairness and impartiality in the handling of the case. This is the principle of our Central Bureau of Investigation. We must proceed from the facts. We must not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let any bad person go. Remember, the interests of the government must always be our top priority."

These words made Luoton feel funny. Who could believe them when they said them so righteously?

However, Rotun probably understood why he was sent to carry out this mission.

Ashok Chavan's case is obviously very complicated. There are too many relationships involved, involving the Congress Party and even the Prime Minister.

Coupled with the various targeting measures from the opposition parties such as the People's Party, if one is not handled properly during the process, one will offend people.

If you stand with the Congress Party, you will offend the BJP, and vice versa.

If you don't help either of them, you might offend them all.

In Roton's opinion, no one at the CBI headquarters was willing to take over the case.

One could even tell from the director's words that he didn't trust the director of the Mabang branch very much, and he told me so directly.

CBI has branches in every state, and whenever there is any issue, the branch director is responsible for it.

Unless it is a major case, the headquarters will send people to assist.

These local CBI members will have some connections with some local senior officials, so they cannot really handle the case from the perspective of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

This is an important reason why the director gave Rawdon the power to question the branch director's decision.

Through Roton, we can put some pressure on the branch director to prevent him from going too far.

Although the Central Bureau of Investigation has great power, sometimes it has to make judgments based on the situation.

Some people at the headquarters definitely don't want to get involved in these troubles, and no one is willing to do anything that is too offensive.

Ashok's case is clearly unusual and must be treated with caution.

So you found me as an intern?

Just now, Roton thought that there would be great benefits in joining the CBI, but now it seems that the risks involved are also huge.

If you are not careful, you will offend others, and even offend people from both sides.

If a small person like me offends these two giants, I might be liquidated.

However, the risks are huge, but there are also benefits.

Once things are handled properly, what you get will be amazing.

Risks and opportunities depend on how you grasp them.

"Yes, Chief!" Rawdon said loudly.

There are opportunities here, but Luoton thought of more.

I can fully use my current identity and power to do things that I could not do before.

For example, dealing with Ragetti and Fries, and of course, solving Su Wei's problem completely at the same time.

I need to think carefully about this and use the power well.

After all, the relationships here are complicated. If you are not careful, you may offend others and even die without a burial place.

The director repeatedly emphasized the interests of the government, and Rawdon understood it clearly.

This refers to the Congress Party.

The director obviously does not trust the director of the Mabang branch and has a good relationship with the opposition party. It is very likely that it is the People's Party, right?
He was afraid that the branch chief would lean towards the BJP and kill Ashok, so he sent himself, a person with no background, to supervise?
Isn’t he afraid that he won’t be able to intimidate the branch director?

After all, there is a huge gap between his status and that of the branch director, and he is just an intern.

However, the other party chose me, probably because they did some research on my past. At least they knew that I was brave and daring, so they chose me.

Moreover, his current image is very positive, with the support of media and the CBI headquarters, so the director of the Mabang branch will probably be a little wary.

No matter what, Rotun must maximize his own interests.

In his opinion, investigating the case is secondary, and he wants to use this opportunity to benefit himself.

People are not killed for their own sake.

"Very good. Before you leave, please come with me to a press conference." The director said with a smile.

It was very efficient and an hour later, the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation held a press conference.

Regarding the case of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, he said that the CBI has received authorization from the federal government and the Supreme Court to formally launch an investigation.

The case will be handled by the Director of the Maharashtra branch, and the CBI headquarters will send Luo Dun as an assistant to assist in the case.

It is not surprising that the Director of CBI's Maharashtra branch is in charge of the case.

It is very normal for the headquarters to send more people to assist.

Sometimes, the person in charge may be someone sent by the headquarters, or the person in charge may be a leader of a local branch. Both are acceptable.

But the headquarters sent out Roden Mahesh, which surprised the reporters present.

As veteran news media reporters, they certainly all knew Rawdon.

Not to mention that Rotun was very famous before, not long ago Rotun was summoned by the Prime Minister and was specially approved to enter the Administrative College for further studies.

The heat of this news is still there and has not completely faded.

Unexpectedly, the CBI gave Roden another extraordinary identity, Assistant Investigation Commissioner, which was simply a bombshell.

It was rare for Luo Dun to enter the CBI as an intern, and it seemed that this had never happened before.

Another thing is that the power of the intern Luo Dun is a bit too much. Although he is called an assistant, he actually represents the CBI headquarters. Everyone can understand the supervisory power within it.

Moreover, in the past, positions like Assistant Investigation Commissioner were usually held by senior IPS. Luo Dun had just passed the national civil service exam and was not even a fourth-level police superintendent.

"Commissioner, Officer Mahesh is still in the probationary period. Isn't it inappropriate to entrust him with such an important task?" a reporter asked.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. On the contrary, Rotun is the most suitable Assistant Investigating Commissioner for this case," the CBI Director said with a smile. "I'm sure everyone is familiar with Rotun's past achievements. He's solved many major cases and made great contributions. He's been commended by the Prime Minister and is a police elite. The Central Bureau of Investigation is temporarily loaning him to ensure a more fair, just and transparent investigation of this case. I believe that only an upright police officer like Rotun can satisfy all parties."

The chief didn't mind praising Rawdon, calling him the most honest policeman, the elite, and so on. He didn't hesitate to use all these nice words on him.

After all, Roton was commended by the Prime Minister, so it was okay for him to praise him like this.

The Prime Minister has approved it, who dares to object?

The reporters are all smart people and understand what is going on.

It is obvious that the people at the CBI headquarters did not want to get involved in this case, so they brought in Roton as a shield.

But then again, Roton is indeed a very suitable person to be sent by CBI headquarters. I believe it will satisfy all major forces.

Otherwise, if the CBI headquarters sends someone else and the Congress is satisfied, then the BJP and other opposition parties will definitely be dissatisfied.

In their view, the government still wants to protect Ashok.

If the person sent by the CBI headquarters is biased towards the BJP, the Congress Party will not agree either.

Therefore, Rotun, who was originally a low-level person, had basically no intersection with these major forces. He had no interests entangled in them. Instead, he appeared fair and could be accepted by everyone.

Of course, considering the various positive and glorious images that Roton has had now and in the past, he can indeed be treated specially and given important positions.

So, the matter just passed.

Newspapers and other media quickly spread the news.

While Rawdon was still on the plane to Mumbai, almost everyone in the country who watched the news knew the news.

Before boarding the plane, Rawdon found time to talk to Pirando about the fact that he had become an assistant investigator sent by the CBI headquarters.

No one mentioned other relatives.

After all, this is just a temporary position for me, there is nothing much to say.

Itas and the others saw it on the news.

They didn't know much about the position of Assistant Investigation Commissioner, and they didn't understand how Luo Dun, who was clearly studying at the Administrative College, suddenly became a CBI member?
But one thing is clear, this is definitely a good thing for Roton.

Everyone knows the reputation of CBI.

After arriving in Mumbai, Rodon was greeted by the staff of the CBI Maharashtra branch and went directly to the branch.

CBI Maharashtra branch director Vedras Jha met with Rodon as soon as possible.

Looking at Roton, Vides Ja felt very complicated.

The headquarters sent Rotun here with a clear intention, which was that they did not trust him very much.

Of course he understood this.

Although he is a member of the CBI, people are always biased. Who can truly be fair and just?

Friends from the People's Party had already greeted him.

But he didn't completely agree to them.

After all, the whole country is watching the Ashok incident. The most he can do is to use some power within the scope of his position to make some reasonable intervention, so that the Ashok incident will deal a greater blow to the Congress Party.

If he really follows the People's Party's intentions, that would be too exaggerated and he would definitely not agree to it.

That would get him into trouble, and his brain is still intact.

However, he didn't have much thought about Rotun.

If the headquarters really needs to send some other guys over, he might have a headache.

For example, if the other party is pro-KMT, it will be difficult for us to deal with it.

This case was very important, so he, as the director of the state branch, personally took charge of it and became the investigating commissioner of this case.

Next is Assistant Investigator Rawdon.

So, although Roton is an assistant investigator, he exists to assist the investigator, but in this case, in terms of status, he can definitely be ranked second in the investigation team.

This is the second-in-command in the investigation team and is definitely a powerful position.

An inspector as his deputy?

Vides thought it was a bit ridiculous, because he was the Chief of Police, the highest rank in the police force.

The Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Deputy Director General of the headquarters and the Directors General of each state bureau are all Directors General of Police. Even some other management personnel are senior IPS, the elite among the elite.

Of course, although they are both police chiefs, the power they possess varies greatly due to their different positions.

Vides is generally responsible for investigating various major cases in Maharashtra, while other states have their own branches to take charge.

Of course, whenever the Central Bureau of Investigation takes action, the coordination and communication between them and the various states is definitely more convenient than that of the police.

If it is the headquarters, people will also be sent when some major and difficult cases occur in various states.

Like Luo Dun, he is now representing the CBI headquarters and is directly parachuted in.

This time it is Maharashtra, next time it may be Karnataka. Whenever the case requires, there is no problem in cross-state law enforcement, and the CBI branches in other states must cooperate.

Vides quickly calmed down and realized that he could not treat Roton as an ordinary inspector.

This guy just received a summons from the Prime Minister and is a popular figure.

Next, in the Ashok case, he could take advantage of Roton's popularity in the news.

There are some things that are difficult to say or do by yourself, and letting this kid come forward may have unexpected results.

Although he is the director of the CBI's Maharashtra branch and holds a high position of power, he still has to treat people differently based on their circumstances.

Ashok Chavan's identity is not simple. He has a lot of seniority and connections in the Congress Party.

Even Manmohan spoke to him.

If I really do something to Ashok, the Prime Minister might come to me in the future, and I can't bear it.

But the People's Party also has to take care of itself, and the balance here is very difficult.

In front of Vides, Roton was of course very respectful.

Although he now represents the CBI headquarters and has some supervisory powers, he would not dare to do so unless it is absolutely necessary.

The person in front of him is also a big shot whom he cannot afford to offend.

Vides talked to Rotten about some things about the next case, and then let Rotten go back to rest.

The investigation will officially begin tomorrow.

Instead of returning home, Rawdon stayed at a residence arranged by the Bang branch.

Because the investigation is into Ashok's case, which is very important, the members of the investigation team cannot act casually.

In some strict situations, even mobile phones and other communication devices cannot be used at will to avoid information leaks.

As soon as he arrived at his residence, Rotun thought for a moment and called Pirando.

"Roden, have you arrived?" Pirando asked first.

"I'm here. I've met Director Vides Jia," Roton said. "I'm at my residence now. I have something I want to ask you."

"I'm sure Director Jia will definitely explain some things about the Central Bureau of Investigation to you. I don't need to explain much; you just need to follow the rules." Pirando smiled. "However, there is something I want to tell you. I was going to call you even though you didn't want to. This is what my senior leader asked me to convey to you. Of course, my senior leader has received instructions from above."

Hearing this, Rotten's expression immediately turned serious.

Shiva Nandan asked Pirandu to convey?

And these are the words of some big shots above?

I must take it seriously.
