The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in New Delhi has told a city court that two Kashmiri youth who were arrested by the Delhi Police on terror charges were innocent. It also sought action against three officials for the illegal detention of these youth.
In its report, CBI has demanded action against three Indian police inspectors, Ravinder Tyagi, Vinay Tyagi and Subhash Bhatt after the CBI filed a closure report in the court, which will hear the case on November 27, KMS reported. The investigating agency was dealing with a case in which the innocent Kashmiri youth, Mohammed Arif Qamar and Irshad Ali, were arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police from Mubarak Chowk on G.T. Karnal Road in north Delhi in February 2006.
Both were charged by police personnel to be militants of the Al-Badr group. In its preliminary inquiry, CBI questioned several aspects of the police probe and pointed out that statements of Special Cell sleuths contradicted one another. The CBI investigations, as suggested in the first status report, had clearly pointed at a nexus between the Intelligence Bureau and the Special Cell in framing Qamar and Ali.
