Sunday, 28 October 2007
New Delhi, October 28: The CBI investigations into the arrest of two persons last year as Al-Badr militants of Jammu and Kashmir has pointed out glaring loopholes in the theory of elite Special Cell of Delhi Police and some officials of the crack force may get into trouble over "fabrication" of evidence.
While the CBI officially maintained silence, sources within the agency said the investigations of the case of two persons -- Mohammed Moarif Quamar and Irshad Ali -- alleged militants of Al-Badr militant and arrested by Special Cell from Mubarak Chowk on G T Karnal Road in North Delhi on
February 2006, had been taken over by the agency.
The agency was probing the role of two sleuths from the Intelligence Bureau, who had figured during its preliminary enquiry initiated at the directions of the Delhi High Court.
The CBI has alleged that the evidence gathered against Quamar and Ali, who had been working as police informers, was framed by the Special Cell officials, who were desperate to show results after the deadly blasts in Sarojni Nagar in October 2005.
The CBI investigations so far has pointed out various loopholes in the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police against the two, which includes the allegation that Quamar and Ali, both
militants of Al-Badr militant group, had gone to Jammu and Kashmir to receive arms, ammunition and explosives.
"But there is nothing on record to show that they are the members of Al-Badr, particularly when no connecting documents were recovered from them," according to the CBI report.PTI
