An encounter with truth?

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

The encounter at Batla House was hailed as a ‘big break’ in the case against Indian Mujahideen. But lately, questions are being raised on the veracity of the claims made by the police. Asif Khan, an ex-councillor from the Jamia Nagar locality, raises some persistent questions...

We have eye-witnessed testimonies of the people who live nearby to the site of the encounter. We have police photographs of the shooting and also the police verifications that the so-called accused had submitted to the Jamia Nagar police station. And based on the evidence from all these sources, we’re saying that this encounter is fake.

Firstly, we have a photograph which shows that MC Sharma was shot in the back, on the shoulder. Tell me, how is it possible to get shot in the back when he was supposed to be facing the alleged terrorists and firing away? We have another photograph, taken moments after this one, which shows Crime Cell’s DCP Alok Kumar taking aim and about to fire his gun. Now, the Commissioner Delhi Police, Mr. Dadwal, has said that MC Sharma was leading the operation and according to him the police party went to the house for address verification, and then this encounter took place. But the question arises, as to why did he not disclose the role of Alok Kumar, as he was present in the area, and apparently leading the attack? Meanwhile, we also have photographs of Sajid showing no less than eight bullet wounds, just on his head! Does this appear like the outcome of a random encounter? It has also been alleged that Atif and Sajid are the mastermind behind Ahmedabad bomb blasts. Now 20 days after the blasts these kids go to Jamia Nagar police station and get their address verified. But the police claim that the stamp on the police verification is fake! However, compare that stamp with any other, supposedly, real one and one will find no difference! Moreover, the previous residential address given by Atif is absolutely real. Would a hardened terrorist ever do this? All the others, Zia ur Rehman, Saquib Nisar, Zeeshan el al knew that the encounter had taken place, but all of them were arrested at their homes or surrendered themselves. But, normally, a terrorist would have run away. So this just does not make sense.

All we want is a judicial enquiry by a committee comprising of a sitting judge from High Court or Supreme Court involving the NHRC chairman and also the Chairman of the National Commission of Minorities. Some people claim that the morale of the police will go down if such an enquiry commission is constituted. But spilling the blood of innocents to boost Delhi Police’s morale is no solution. If 200 million Muslims of India are demanding for a judicial enquiry to clear the air, then is it too much to ask for? When enquiries can be set up in Aarushi murder case, then why not in this case where Muslims are being maligned without any valid basis? If we’re right, the truth will come out and if the police is right, then its morale and reputation will definitely go up.
