Srinagar: Suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh, arrested while ferrying two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militants in a vehicle on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway earlier this year, moved a Delhi court on Tuesday seeking bail.
Singh and two other accused in the case – Irfan Shafi Mir and Sayed Naveed Mushtaq – moved the applications, claiming they are not required further custodial interrogation, reported PTI.
The court is scheduled to hear the matter on Wednesday.
Advocate M S Khan, appearing for the three accused who are lodged in Tihar jail, told the court that no purpose will be served by keeping his clients in further custody.
Plea stated that Singh, Mir and Mushtaq were arrested on March 14, 19 and 27 respectively and are no longer required by the police for the purpose of investigation.
The accused are wrongly and falsely implicated in the case. There is no material/ evidence to show the existence of any conspiracy to commit any act with intent to threaten or likely to threaten the unity, integrity, security or sovereignty of India and there is also no material to substantiate that the accused had the intention or conspired to carry out terror strike, Khan said in the application.
Last year, Singh’s arrest created a sensation as he was found in the company of Naveed, a former police constable and a active militant’. The police say that Naveed was behind the killing of 11 truck drivers, non-local labourers and apple traders in south Kashmir post the August 5 dilution of Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into Union Territories.
