| DGP orders probe into use of cell phone by undertrial | | | Early Times Report
Jammu: An enquiry has been ordered into the use of a cell phone by an undertrial top Harkat-Ul-Jehadi-Islami (Huji) militant who has surrendered before the security forces, Jammu and Kashmir director general of police Kuldeep Khoda said today.
The enquiry followed a video clip of undertrial Sher Khan -- a former 'divisional commander' of Huji — which showed him using the cell phone at a local eatery where the police had taken him after a court appearance. He has surrendered last year.
"I have directed the authorities to enquire into the yesterday's incident of use of mobile phone by one of the undertrials," Khoda said.
Downplaying the incident of Khan and some other undertrials having meal at a local eating point in Kishtwar, he said police had taken them under elaborate security as they had to be presented before a court.
"The militants were taken to the eating point under elaborate security. They were taken from Udhampur jail to Kishtwar and presented before the court in connection with some cases yesterday," Khoda told PTI in connection with the footage aired by a private TV channel.
They had travelled to Kishtwar from Udhampur, over 200km, and they could not have been denied food, IGP Jammu Ashok Gupta said.
The channel had aired footage captured by a person with a mobile phone showing undertrials having food at Friendship restaurant. Khan, who was caught using cell phone in the footage, is under threat from militants operating in the district for surrendering before the Army.
