| Sarfu's alleged suicide: Is police involved, the question haunts | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 19 : The alleged custodial death of notorious trans-border smuggler Sarfu Ram has raised suspicion over the involvement of some police officers in the whole episode.
The family members of the deceased have already made statement that police was trying to cover up their misdeed by terming the custodial killing as suicide.
According to reliable sources, Sarfu had disclosed during his interrogation at Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC) the names of his associates. Those associates had helped Sarfu Ram in trans-border smuggling during the last one and half decade.
The names disclosed by him also included the name of some police officials, sources revealed. It is being believed that Sarfu might have been eliminated at the instance of those police officials and now his death is being termed as suicide. Sources further said that the district administration has already taken suo motto cognizance of this matter that's why Magisterial probe has been ordered.
It is important to mention here that the police officials said that Sarfu was found hanging at JIC Miran Sahib, where he was being interrogated in connection with the narcotics-hawala case since past few days.
Officials said that Sarfu Ram appeared to have taken advantage of absence of security staff at the JIC in the wee hours. There were only six detenues in the JIC including Sarfu and Shinda and four others, all of whom were sleeping in a lobby of the JIC.
CID officials claimed that Sarfu was feeling upset with the detention of his family members and committed suicide. His body was found hanging only when some of the staff returned to the JIC and saw Sarfu missing.
A Medical Board conducted post-mortem on the body to ascertain exact reasons behind the death of the trans-border smuggler. The body was handed over to his family members in the evening and was taken to Camp Khour.
Inspector General (IG), Dilbagh Singh could not be contacted for his version even after repeated attempts. |
