New Delhi: Suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh, who was nabbed while ferrying two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway, moved a Delhi court Tuesday seeking interim bail.
Besides Singh, two other accused — Syed Naveed Mushtaq and Imran Shafi Mir — have also sought bail. The Special Cell of the Delhi Police is probing their role in the alleged planning of a terror attack.
The trio has sought bail asserting that there is no evidence to show that there was any conspiracy to commit an act that would threaten the sovereignty of the country. The court has listed the matter for hearing on Wednesday.
“The accused are wrongly and falsely implicated in the case. There is also no material to substantiate that the accused had the intention or conspired to carry out a terror strike,” the plea stated.
Singh is currently under judicial custody at the Hira Nagar Jail in J&K till June 16. Besides Singh, three other accused — Javed Iqbal, Syed Naveed Mushtaq and Imran Shafi Mir — are also under custody.
Delhi Police’s Special Cell had brought him from Hira Nagar Jail to the national capital in March for interrogation in another case.
The police had earlier told the court that Mushtaq, who was the commander of Hizbul Mujahiddeen in Shopian district, along with other militants were planning to execute a terror attack in Delhi and other parts of the country and targeted killings of protected persons.
In connection with this, the Delhi Police had filed an FIR which stated that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab are being trained for carrying out terrorist activities. Singh was taken into custody under this FIR and was also interrogated regarding the Khalistan angle.
