JAMMU, July 14: Crime Branch (Jammu), the premier investigation agency of the state, faced a blot when one Zakir Hussain Shah of village Potha, Surankote, filed a writ petition in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court at Jammu and levelled serious allegations of poor investigation and laxities which made the complainant to suffer.
The writ petition in this connection was filed with the High Court following the failure of the Crime Branch to expose the fake non-banking finance companies, which duped people of crores of rupees, even after the lapse of many years.
Meanwhile, High Court has issued notices to Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary (Home), Director General of Police, Inspector General of Police, Crime Branch, and SSP Crime Branch and sought their response within four weeks.
In a writ petition having CMA No 1129/2014, the petitioner has stated that one Bashir Ahmed Manhas of Surankote duped crores of rupees from the people through various fake non banking finance companies and in this connection Crime Branch registered so many FIRs and alleged that the Bashir Ahmed Manhas being influential allegedly managed the things in his favour.
The petitioner sought the investigation for the misappropriation and bungling of deposited amount through CBI. He also prayed for the appointment of receiver for the purpose of conducting sale of property seized by the Crime Branch and to further make the repayment to the innocent depositors.
The people deposited crores of rupees in non banking finance companies including United Endowment India Ltd, Endowment Plantation Ltd, Endowment Investment India Ltd, United Drug India Ltd and Kashmir Fruit and Allied Products Ltd. These non banking finance companies were run by the alleged accused who was a Govt employee and posted in Sheep and Animal Husbandry Department as Flock Supervisor.In the year 2000, Manhas went underground ,thereby, leaving the thousands of innocent investors without any repayment of crores of rupees.
In his petition, Zakir said that though cases were registered against the alleged accused, Crime Branch did not conduct investigation properly as he was very influential person allegedly having some political masters and bureaucrats on his back. He further alleged that every effort was made by the investigation agency to give undue benefits to the accused so that he may go scot free and easily escape from the clutches of the law.
Meanwhile, senior police officers in Crime Branch when contacted said that Crime Branch has solved many high profile cases.The officers also ruled out the allegations of succumbing to the political pressure , adding, various cases filed against Manhas have been proved and challaned accordingly, besides seizure of his property. |
