| Sonia's visit to J-K: Weapons recovery act under scanner | | |
New Delhi | Feb 24
In what could turn into a major embarrassment for CRPF, the Jammu and Kashmir Police may book its officers and jawans for allegedly stage-managing recovery of deadly RDX in Baderwah district leading to cancellation of visit of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi there on Friday.
According to a report, neither the state police nor any other central security agency confirmed the operation for recovery of the arms and explosive material including three kilograms of RDX, two Chinese grenades, a grenade launcher, two detonators, seven rounds of AK-47, four rounds of Pika Gun, one wireless set and a mobile phone charger.
According to the highly-placed sources in the Jammu and Kashmir Home Department, the operation was allegedly stage-managed by the CRPF ahead of the visit of Gandhi, who was accompanied by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, to Baderwah town.
The CRPF team in civil dress had descended on an abandoned house in Teligarh area of Chinnot village and allegedly placed all the ammunition and the explosive powder there, the sources said.
The inquiry team recorded the statement of the grocery shop owner who had supplied food including a chicken preparation to the CRPF team, which had stationed itself a day prior to the visit of Gandhi and Patil.
The report said that the Commanding officer of the CRPF battalion in the area had called the local police station at around 1930 hours on Thursday and sought three personnel for a routine patrol. The three personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police reached the CO's office where they were made to sit for the next three hours without any work.
