| Delhi Police in dock for 'fabricating' two men as J&K militants | | | New Delhli | Oct 28
The CBI investigations into the arrest of two persons last year as Al-Badr militants of Jammu and Kashmir has pointed out glaring loopholes in the theory of elite Special Cell of Delhi Police and some officials of the crack force may get into trouble over "fabrication" of evidence.
While the CBI officially maintained silence, sources within the agency said the investigations of the case of two persons -- Mohammed Moarif Quamar and Irshad Ali -- alleged militants of Al-Badr militant and arrested by Special Cell from Mubarak Chowk on G T Karnal Road in North Delhi on February 2006, had been taken over by the agency.
The agency was probing the role of two sleuths from the Intelligence Bureau, who had figured during its preliminary enquiry initiated at the directions of the Delhi High Court.
The CBI has alleged that the evidence gathered against Quamar and Ali, who had been working as police informers, was framed by the Special Cell officials, who were desperate to show results after the deadly blasts in Sarojni Nagar in October 2005.
The CBI investigations so far has pointed out various loopholes in the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police against the two, which includes the allegation that Quamar and Ali, both militants of Al-Badr militant group, had gone to Jammu and Kashmir to receive arms, ammunition and explosives.
"But there is nothing on record to show that they are the members of Al-Badr, particularly when no connecting documents were recovered from them," according to the CBI report.
Though the police showed them arrested while they were alighting from a Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation Bus on February nine, 2006, the Police did not make any attempt to record the statement of bus driver and conductor.
Neither any search was conducted by the police at the residences of the two accused nor did any team of the police men visit and sought help from their counterparts in Jammu and Kashmir to uncover their theory.
"As per the police version, the arms and ammunition were delivered by Sheikh Pervej and Faiyaz Ahmed Radar. However, the police did not make any attempt to locate and interrogate them. They simply obtained a non-bailable warrant which were returned due to non-existent address," the CBI said.
Ironically, the police team went to Kashmir for conducting investigations into the case on June 22, 2006, one-and-a-half month after filing the chargesheet against the two, the CBI said.
The CBI said the allegations made by the family members of Quamar and Ali that they were abducted on December 12 and 22, 2005, respectively and kept in illegal confinement allegedly by the officials of special cell till February 2006 were more or less corroborated.
The agency had checked the mobile phone and credit cards records of the two, which showed that they had not been used after the date when their families claim that they had been abducted.
The CBI has also secured the statements of two members of the Special Cell who had substantiated the theory of the families of the two accused that Quamar and Ali were working as police informers. |
