New Delhi, Nov 9 (IANS) Striking a direct e-connect with the people, like many government organisations have done, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is now experimenting with online social networking with its Bhopal unit joining Facebook to seek information from people on cases.
'The CBI Bhopal unit is the first
one to join the Facebook social networking site on an experimental
basis. If the response is good the other wings of the investigating
agency will also open their own page in Facebook,' a CBI official told
IANS.
The CBI's Bhopal unit opened its
Facebook page last weeek and also sought help from the public on any
reliable clues to solve the murder case of RTI activist Shehla Masood.
'This is an official page of CBI
Bhopal, and not a page certified by a private person. I have to say
categorically that citizens of Bhopal respond to us with desired
seriousness and expectations,' Hemant Priyadarshy, DIG, CBI, Bhopal posted in the Facebook page.
Right to Information and green activist Masood was killed outside her home in Bhopal Aug 16.
The case was transferred from
Bhopal wing of CBI to Delhi which is probing the case. The agency in
September announced an award of Rs.5 lakh for anyone providing credible
information about the murder.
The Facebook page also stated that
CBI Bhopal looks into cases of corruption and citizens are encouraged
to share any relevant inputs and information relating to crime and
corruption the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
'Any specific information relating
to corruption will go a long way in fighting corruption. The presence
of CBI Bhopal on Facebook is recent, please spread the word to Faceboook
community,' Priyadarshy added in his post.
Delhi Police and Delhi Traffic Police have opened Facebook pages that are inviting many hits.
