Jammu, Aug 7: The security system of the Srinagar Central jail has been trampled three times till date. Fifteen prisoners have escaped. Those who escaped frm the prison include Maqbool Bhat and Khawaja Ghulam Naqui.
Khawaja Ghulam Naqui and his friend advocate were arrested for their affiliation with the first militant organization of Jammu Kashmir, Hyderi Column. The outfit was launched immediately after the creationof India and Pakistan. Arms were smuggled from across the border and large number of youth joined it. Naqui and his friend had just returned from Aligarh Muslim University after completing their LLB. Naqui who rose to the level of vice-chairman Habib Bank of Pakistan narrates the incident in his brief autobiography.
After staying in prison for three years, Naqui and his friend decided to escape from the jail. On April 19, 1951 they gave the jail staff a slip and escaped. Both of them crossed the then cease-fire line and settled in Pakistan.
Naqui grew severely home sick and was desperate of coming back. His family applied for pardon and the governor of Jammu Kashmir finally granted him pardon, it was too late. Naqui died a few days before the pardon was granted. JKLF founder and ideologue, Maqbool bhat was arrested for murder. On December 9, 1968 he escaped from prison. He was re-arrested after some time and shifted to Delhi's Tihar Jail. He was hanged on February 11, 1984. March 27, 1990 was a difficult day for the jail staff. Twelve prisoners shocked the administration by escaping from the prison. The jail staff was put to task for their alleged involvement in facilitating the the jail break.
Interestingly when the militants escaped, Peoples League leader, Mahmood Sagar was also undergoing detention. He, however, stayed back. He was shifted to Jodhpur jail soon after. |
