The Informative Missive

Editorial: Silence Of The Lambs

    “The army is not cooperating with the investigation”, State Additional Advocate General. “They do not provide us with the details of information we require”, Senior Government Standing Counsel’s reply. Invariably these statements are being made by the counsels of Union of India & State government in the High Court proceedings in the petitions, in which the victims of Human Rights violations have sought Mandamus for directing the state police agencies for conducting investigations in the extra judicial executions and disappearances of their dear ones. In routine the High Court gives four weeks time, than three weeks time, two weeks time followed by last and final opportunity to the counsel to do the needful. And the needful is done after years. The lack of co-operation between the state and the federal agencies is dragging the cases for years together. It is not due to the lackadaisical approach but as a strategy. Incidentally it happens in the cases where already the high court has disposed a petition, which takes two, three years. The high court in these cases has also directed the police agencies to file the FIR’s to conduct the investigations into the allegations made in the petitions.

    Under the Criminal Procedure Code the police agencies are bound to register First Information Report (FIR) in any cognizable offences. And to hold investigations into the allegations leveled against the law enforcing agencies, which is not even barred under Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. The draconian act bars only the prosecution and not the investigations. Notwithstanding these court directions there is least follow up. This unending process frustrates the litigants to the extent that they feel that they are moving in an orbit. They stop pursuing the cases& realize that litigating against the state functionary, which is an organized litigant, is mere wastage of time that amounts to self-inflicting pain. This withdrawal serves the very designs of the government counsels. As per a survey, almost 60% litigants who have filed cases years before have left them mid way and are no more interested in chasing the mirage. These litigants are mostly from the urban areas and towns. Not to speak of the victims of far flung areas who seldom approach courts.

    Legally speaking the army and para military forces has been requisitioned by the state to aid and assist the local police for restoring what they call law & order. Dejure, this requisitioned law enforcing agency is to subordinate the local police as law & order is a state subject. They are per se responsible for the omissions & commissions. The state police have to conduct investigations & even implicate the culpable officers for the heinous acts. But the local police is helpless and de facto it is to aid & assist the security forces during their cordon and search operations. The role of the local police is limited to a symbolic presence before army and to collect the dead bodies & file the FIR’s from the security forces. There are hundreds of FIR’s pending in different police station in the state of J&K, against the law forcing agencies since the onset of conflict. But the police have not conducted investigations against the security forces. The reasons are obvious; there are implicit instructions not to file the cases against the law forcing agencies unless they receive the directions from higher quarters. Even in the past the government had issued a circular to all the police stations in this regard. Later the government had to withdraw it after it was widely assailed by press and human rights organizations. The other reasons are that the out numbered police officials (the ratio of police men to security forces being 1:10) are afraid of incurring the wrath of the security forces.

    Only in hi profile cases where the people have taken to streets, that the police have sometimes filed FIR against the army and military in order to pacify the people. And even state has appointed enquiries into these incidents.

    Under the circumstances it was the duty of judiciary to be proactive. The judicial active judges could have set an example. They could have reposed faith of people by following advice of lord, Atkin, “in this country amidst the clash of arms, the laws are not silent, they may be changed, but they speak the same language as in war as may be the case”. Instead the honorable judges seem to follow the saying of Roman jurist Cicero, “Amidst the war of cries, laws remain silent.”

SOPORE PEOPLE ALLEGE CUSTODIAL KILLING
Govt. Orders Probe

Nov 7: The whole Sopore area was rocked after the news of alleged custodial killing of a shopkeeper spread around. The shopkeeper was picked up on 21st October by unidentified armed men from his shop and killed after three weeks. Government has ordered a probe into the killing.

    According to the newspaper reports, on October 21, a group of unidentified armed men in civvies stopped their white Gypsy (bearing registration number JK05-0490) in front of Haidar Ahmad Bhat's shop at Gonipora, Sopore. The gunmen pushed him inside the vehicle and fled from the spot.

    Haidar Ahmad Bhat son of Muhammad Ahsan Bhat of Gonipora was a graduate, and shopkeeper by profession. According to the residents, Haidar was a simple shopkeeper and did not have the remotest connection with militants or any political organization, a fact even corroborated by the local Police records, which show nothing incriminating against Haidar.

    After his abduction, the family members of Haidar lodged a complaint in police station. “The Deputy Superintendent and Superintendent of Police assured us that they were trying to trace him out", says his father Muhammad Ahsan Bhat. Protests and dharnas (sit in) were held over the past fortnight after his disappearance in custody. But after 18 days his body was found in Kangan police station.

    However, the daily police bulletin on militancy related incidents circulated by police headquarters on 6th November 2003, reported that "one unidentified militant was killed in an encounter with troops while another managed to escape in forests of Prang, Kangan in the intervening night of 5th and 6th of November". The bulletin added, that the body of the slain ‘militant’ was kept at Kangan police station. The official spokesman denied the allegations of killing a civilian and claimed that they killed a ‘militant’ in an encounter and handed over his body to Kangan police. The spokesman denied reports that the shopkeeper had been apprehended by the troops.

    Haidar’s parents identified his body at the police station. Later when the body of Haidar reached his home town, thousands of people from villages of Sopore, including Malagoni, Behrampora, Hab Dangerpora, Marazigund and other villages, after visiting his home, assembled in Sopore and staged a demonstration demanding a immediate probe into the incident.

    A team of The Informative Missive met the bereaved family and spoke to his mother and brother. His mother, in a grief stricken state, talked to the correspondent of this publication. She said, “Haidar had gone to Sopore to buy some goods for his provision store, when he came back, he went to the shop. Some unidentified armed men in civvies stopped their white gypsy in front of his shop and asked for cigarette, and then one of the men told him that they wanted to speak to him. As he went towards the gypsy they dragged him inside and took him away. Our younger son was also present at the shop, he along with another boy followed the car on a motorbike but nothing was learned about his whereabouts. We went to the Major of the 22 Bn RR camped in the area but he did not help us. Then with another shopkeeper, Ghulam Nabi Sheikh, we went to Watergam, and then to Baramulla, we searched for him everywhere, but after 18 days we learnt that he had been killed.

    Haidar’s killing has come as a shock, as he was a brilliant young boy running his own shop. Why was he kill He was innocent. We want the culprits to be punished otherwise a day will come when infants will be taken from their mothers bosom and then killed”. Haidar’s brother Rafiq Ahmad Bhat, a graduate, was helping Haidar in his shop and also was a fruit merchant. Extremely disturbed by his brother’s killing, he repeats the same words as his mother, as he says, “they were wearing Pherans (local dress) and the gypsy in which they were traveling bore registration No JK05 0490, but later investigations revealed that it was a false number. After we came to know of his arrest, we searched for him everywhere, in every camp. We even contacted DC and DIG of the area. DC even contacted army but there was no clue about Haidar. Later after 18 days we received information that he has been killed in Kangan. We rushed to Kangan Police Station where we identified Haidar’s body. It bore severe torture marks. 24 Bn RR camped at Kangan claim that they killed Haider in an encounter; a version police carried in their daily bulletin. The RR claimed that the deceased ‘militant’ was Salman a resident of Pakistan.

    This is injustice and we want justice. How come he was arrested from his native place and killed in the mysterious circumstances and body found at Kangan. The Major of 22 RR camped here gave us false assurance during Haidar’s disappearance that he would be released soon. He misled us many a times. We want a proper investigation and all the culprits should be punished for murdering an innocent. In this area we are living in virtual siege and fear. The Major and his subordinates roam in the area in civvies and spy to target innocent villagers on one pretext or other.

    Though the conditions have always been pretty bad here, but from the last few months they have turned from bad to worse. The present government is helpless; the chief minister has literally no control over the security forces. Haidar has gone; he will never come back again but yes! His killers should not go unpunished. That would be the ultimate justice which we the family members will wait for”.

    After some days, family members of Haidar called The Informative Missive office and said “STF personnel arrested Haidar and later with the help of RR killed him”. In this connection the family members have registered a FIR 375/03 under section 346, 302 RPC.

He had further stated in his petition that the body of Shamsuddin was later blown up with an Improvised Explosive Device by the army.

The complaint lodged with the commission said that Hyder, a teacher was picked up by the security forces on Nov 12, and later killed him in custody.
