what is the connection between Home Minister Bamdev & Rishi Dhamala

The Home minister, Bam Dev Gautam has recently expressed his desire to see the corrupt journalist Rishi Dhamala free and has also wished that he is innocent saying that he knows the criminal closely. Firstly, the Home Minister having links with the criminal does not prove him innocent and secondly it is very irresponsible of Mr. Bam Dev to give such a public comment when the institution he heads has arrested the criminal journalist who has been charged with links with underground outfits involved in criminal activities. The Police has made his telephonic conversations public and the criminals arrested have also confessed Rishi’s involvement. At a situation like this, such statements from the Home Minister will not only demoralize the morals of the investigating officers but will also put pressure on them to be biased in favor or against the accused. The other mind bothering aspect in this case is, why would the Home Minister advocate in favor of the criminal instead of encouraging the officers involved in the investigation to nail the accountable for the crimes. Somewhere in the back of the mind the question also arises, does he, the Home Minister have involvement of any kind and is uncomfortable about the fact that his name might come up if the criminal being investigated spills the beans before the cops. Everyone in innocent until proven guilty but possibilities cannot be ruled out.
