ARRESTS AND ACQUITTALS IN TERROR CASES - II

By Syyed Mansoor Agha
Updated Friday, 06 January 2012 16:01:10 - IST (UTC +5:30)

Citing S.M. Mushrif’s book, Who Killed Karkare?, SYED MANSOOR AGHA concludes that cases of 14 youth of Jaipur, 9 of Malegaon and arrests and torture of dozens of Hyderabad boys and many other similar cases show a pattern of police action to malign the fair image of minority community. (Editor)
In Part I of this article (Radiance, 25-31 Dec) we were discussing the case of Abdul Rehman alias Iqbal who was arrested by Delhi Police and a case of terror was slapped on him. He was latter let off after spending three years and a half in solitary confinement on November 27, 2011 by the court of ASJ Pawan Kumar Jain of Delhi as the police story was found baseless.
After three years and a half, the court let Rehman off doubting the authenticity of the very information, and noted that the so-called secret information was not even recorded anywhere. The court observed, “It is difficult to digest that police officers do not record the secret information anywhere but remember it so well that they can reproduce it even after a period of three years as happened in this case,” the court said.
In its charge sheet, the police claimed at Rehman’s instance recovery of three kgs of RDX, detonators and timers, buried near a mosque at Janakpuri in West Delhi. DP said Rehman had received these contrabands from one Guru, an active HuJI module in Delhi in 2007.
The court, however, rejected this claim saying Guru was never arrested by the police. Even his sketch was not produced in the court which it claimed was circulated for his arrest. Doubting the very existence of Guru, the court said, “If there was no Guru, where was the question of receiving detonators from him.”
Regarding the police claim that the explosives were buried in 2007, the court said, “There was no evidence to show that Rehman was in Delhi during that period,” and that, “the police did not probe if Rehman ever worked in the mosque.”
The court also said, “It might be possible that alleged Guru might have buried the explosives and accused Rehman came to know about it. He cannot be said to be in its conscious possession of explosive,” adding that the police handled the material recovered without gloves and the recovery was not even video-graphed.
The police had claimed that a Bangladesh-based HuJI ‘commander’ Qamar alias Nata had earlier plotted to trigger blasts in Delhi through Pakistan-trained LeT militants. This information was again attributed to interrogation of one Jalaluddin, arrested by UP Police in connection with the Varanasi blasts. However, it may be noted that Varanasi blast investigation is still inconclusive.
In a similar case, in August a Delhi High Court Bench comprising Justices S Ravindra Bhat and G P Mittal dismissed Delhi Police appeal against the acquittal of one Ubaid of Srinagar. Police had accused him of being a terror outfit “Al-Badr”. He was let off by trial court in last February as Police investigation was not found satisfactory and evidence produced unreliable.
