| | Furnish particulars of suspected personnel: HC tells ITBP | | Abduction of Verinag youth case | | SRINAGAR, Nov 29: The High Court has asked the Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) authorities to furnish particulars of its suspected personnel for their alleged involvement in the abduction of a youth of Verinag of Anantnag district in the year 2001.
Justice Husnain Masoodi has passed the orders to ITBP further directing to list the matter after two weeks.
On April 5, last year an Anantnag court had issued warrant against the seven suspected persons of ITBP in the matter. The warrant was issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), against the suspected persons of 10th Battalion ITBP following an application moved by the State in connection with the abduction of Muhammad Ashraf Koka.
The father of the youth had then filed a written report regarding alleged abduction of his son. Accordingly, the police took up the investigations and formed an opinion at the strength of deposition of witnesses and other evidences that the officials involved in the abduction included; the then deputy commander of unit, five officers of JCO rank, a sub-inspector, head constable and two other officers. The case FIR no 96/2001 u/s 364, 302, 201 RPC and 7/25 Arms Act was then registered against the suspected ITBP officials in the police station, Dooru.
It has been submitted in the application moved by the prosecuting officer that out of the ten suspected officials only two participated in the investigations while one died and the rest did not turn.
Subsequently, the CJM had passed the order to Director General, ITBP C/O 56 APO through Director General of Police, Jammu, which reads, ““Whereas, as the seven officials of 10th Bn ITBP are suspects in the commission of offences punishable u/s 364, 302,201 RPC and 7/25 Arms Act and even if the Investigating Agency has from time and again been asking for their attendance, but they have not turned up despite repeated reminders.”
It said that as the participation of the suspects was imperative for the conclusion of trial in the Court so, as such the DGP, ITBP is directed to arrest all the suspects and produce them before the Investigating Officer by April 6. |
