Earlier the SIT has presented challan against Sub Inspector Shiv Krishan Sharma, Mohammad Ayub his PSO, Abdul Rashid alias Abdullah, labourer son of Mohammad Iqbal Hargah of Tanta, Akhter Hussain labourer son of Showkat Ali Magray of Tanta, Mohammad Rafi lobourer, son of Mohammad Ibrahim of Patnazi, Bounjwah, Altaf Hussain, cook hotel, son of Nazir Ahmad of Joura, Gandoh and Mohammad Yaqoob, son of Fateh Mohammad Gujjar of Bathree, Gandoh and Arshad Ahmed son of Abdul Rehman Mir Shopkeeper (all private are alleged militants of HM).
According to the investigation of case FIR No. 33/2013 registered in P/S Thathri regarding the lobbying of Chinese hand grenade on 28.04.2013 at P/S Thathri, a suspect namely Mohammad Rafi was apprehended, at whose instance one Chinese Pistol, along with its magazine and five live rounds, came to be recovered vide recovery/seizure memo dated 21.04.2013.
Rafi during his interrogation revealed that the said pistol had been given to him by one Abdul Rashid alias Abdullah with the direction to carry out some subversive act in Doda and for this purpose the said Abdul Rashid took him to Bhaderwah to eliminate Gupta Bakery Wala at Seri Bhaderwah and also kill some police personnel who are deployed near Jamia Masjid Bhaderwah. Mohd. Rafi further divulged that the said Abdullah had also told him that the aforementioned pistol had been given to him by Incharge SOG component Kishtwar, SI Sonu (the petitioner no.1 herein) with the direction to execute the above said plan.
However, the alleged accused Rafi could not perform the task so assigned to him by Abdullah and thus returned to Bonjwah and joined the company of his colleagues among whom also Abdullah had distributed the arms/ammunition obtained by him from the petitioner No 1
As per the alleged accused Rafi, two unknown Kashmiri boys were also part of this racket and other members, who were assigned the task of carrying out subversive activities in the area by Abdullah on the directions of the petitioner No 1 are (1) Akhter Hussain and Mohammad Yaqoob. That the investigation conducted in the case by Special Investigation Team (SIT) so far has cogently established that in order to earn out of turn promotion as well as monetary benefits and name and fame, both in public and in the departmental hierarchy, both the petitioners hatched a criminal conspiracy and chalked out a plan to engage two Kashmiri boys, namely Muzaffar Ahmed and Shahbaz Ahmed.
The alleged accused Abdullah was also forcibly made to be part of this plan by both the petitioners who directed the former to involve some more boys of his area in the said plan in order to achieve their nefarious designs. The investigation conducted so far has brought startling facts to light that after carrying out the subversive activities, there was every likelihood that the petitioners were to eliminate both the kashmiri boys as well as the other accomplices by posing them as terrorists in order to achieve their nefarious designs."
It is further contended that the investigation is at its infancy and if the bail is granted, the same would hamper the investigation and the witnesses would not be in a position to depose before the designated court. It is alleged that for petty personal gains/promotion the petitioners had hatched a conspiracy to involve two persons in militancy related activities. As per the plan, both the persons had been given promise for the reward and appointment as SPOs, but the ultimate design was to involve them in fake militancy related activities and then to eliminate them in order to get personal gain/promotion. —(JNF) |
