| 'Girl kidnapped by Police from court, asked to sign statement on gunpoint' | | Court asks CJM to hold enquiry | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Dec 2: District and session court Budgam has directed a magistrate to hold an enquiry into the allegations of a girl that she was kidnapped by the police and later asked to sign a statement on gunpoint. The Court directed Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) to hold an enquiry into a complaint filed by one Kulsooma who alleges that she was kidnapped by police from a court. Kulsuma a resident of Darwan Chrari-e-Sharief in Budgam had prayed before the court for judicial enquiry. Kulsooma in her petition has alleged that one Jehangir Ahmad was persuading her to have illicit relationship with him.
"On November 10 at around 6:30 PM the accused alongwith help of some goons tried to kidnap me from a marriage party. However, some people rescued me and after that I approached the police station Chrari-Sharief for registering an FIR. But the same was refused," she said in her petition, a copy of which lies with Early Times.
After refusal of the police to register FIR, Kulsooma had approached the CJM Budgam on November 12 who directed the SHO to register the case. "The SHO registered the case under section 341 against only Jegangir Ahmad and has not taken any action against other accused. Instead he registered a case against the brother and other relatives of the applicant. The SHO even didn't record the statement of the applicant to shield the accused," the petition states.
After refusal by the SHO to record her statement, the applicant on November 27 approached the CJM Budgam for recording the statement. "The CJM asked the SHO verbally through muhrir court to appear with case dairy before the court on the same day. As the applicant alongwith her brother Mohammad Afzal and his grandfather Abdul Khaliq Mir were waiting for the case to be called one policeman in civvies asked the applicant to accompany him," the petition reads.
"Outside the court, the applicant was bundled into a gypsy and was taken to P/S Chadoora where she was forced to write a statement against her wishes at gun point and was also threatened not to disclose the incident to any person," the petitioner alleged.
The counsel of the petitioner Advocate Hafizullah Mir prayed before the Sessions Judge Budgam that keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, an enquiry be conducted into the matter through judicial magistrate.
"Action as warranted by the law be taken against the SHO Shrar-e-Sharief and the police personnel who kidnapped the applicant from court premises in the broad day light," he said. |
