Jammu, May 20
Police has registered a case of attempt to murder against a Sikh youth and some other unknown persons for allegedly attacking Station House Officer Janipur Zahid Wani during a melee between lawyers and police inside district court complex on Saturday.
The SHO was injured on Saturday when lawyers allegedly thrashed an under-trail, Shafiq-ul-Rahman, who earlier-attacked his own counsel Advocate Muhammad Aslam Bhat inside the court complex. The police officer reportedly was trying to save the accused when he received a blow on his vital part leaving him unconscious.
Sources disclosed that following the clash senior police officers called a meeting and took stock of the situation. The officers were informed about the inputs from official of intelligence wing who reported that the SHO was attacked by a Sikh youth, who was neither an advocate nor a member of Bar Association Jammu.
Taking strong exception of the matter, the police officers reportedly directed registration of an FIR against the `culprit' at Janipur police station for attempt to murder. 'An FIR has been lodged under section 307 RPC against the Sikh youth and some other persons against whom manhunt has been launched", sources said.
On the other hand the members of Bar Association were contending that it was only an accident and there was no intention of any body to attack the SHO. "The officer was injured only when he came between the angry mob and the under-trail", of the Bar member said.
Meanwhile, the SHO Zahid Wani was discharged form the hospital, late last evening. He was said to be stable and has reportedly joined back his duties.
