| Chopra family murder case | | LPA seeking setting aside judgment of Single Judge, probe by CBI, filed | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 26- In the much publicized murder case of RB Chopra and his family members the son of the deceased, Puneet Chopra in an LPA has sought setting aside the judgment of Single Judge passed on October 30,2009, permitting state police to investigate the matter, besides the CBI investigation in the case.
In the LPA it has been alleged that since the gruesome episode was executed on account of business rivalry, as such, true to the apprehension of the appellant, the SHO P/S Bahu Fort Rafiq Manhas was shifted and in his place one Purshtom Mengi was posted and later on the appellant came to know that Rafiq Manhas was suspended for the reasons best known to the authorities. On September 20, 2006 then SSP Jammu constituted a SIT which comprised of as many as 22 police officers, however, immediately on October 23, 2006 then IGP Jammu Zone constituted another team of seven members. It transpires that state cabinet has referred the case to CBI for investigation for which notification dated September 25, 2006 was issued.
In the LPA it has been submitted that on scrutiny of objections filed before the writ court it becomes crystal clear that the state agency has miserably failed to book the actual culprits, however, against it the SIT was only running behind the persons who were just hired to execute the gruesome act, but big bosses are still at large and even SIT was not in a position to identify them.
The LPA further says that it is an admitted fact that the father of the appellant was a business tycoon and had many business partners as well as business rivals. However the investigating agency miserably failed to put all the business associates of deceased RB Chopra to thorough examination despite the availability of these suspects and said that writ court has not appreciated the matter in its proper perspective despite the fact that the appellant as well as SIT has placed on record sufficient material to arrive at the conclusion that gruesome murder of appellant’s family was handiwork of business contemporaries, which was just executed by the persons who were hired from outside the state but despite overwhelming evidence, the writ court has neither taken into consideration the motive behind the murder of appellant’s family nor the manner in which nefarious design was executed and by whom, The Court has failed to appreciate startling facts that on whose instance it has been executed as such the judgment impugned does not survive and is liable to be set-aside and seeking CBI investigation. The LPA was filed through Advocate Shahzad A. Azad.
It is worthwhile to mention that State police, after the judgment of Single Judge, had filed Challan on November 10, 2009 against Mahesh, Rushi, Vicky, Nanju, Bhawani Singh, Siknader, Narinder and Dalip residents of District Goona MP and two accused namely Kiran Pradhi and Sangram Singh were declared absconders JNF. |
