New Delhi, March 29 : The dreaded Indian National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) Delhi court discharged illegally detained prominent Kashmiri woman leader and Dukhtaran-e-Millat chairperson, Syeda Asiya Andrabi, Kashmiri photojournalist Kamran Yousuf and Javed Ahmad on a fake case imposed on them by the Indian dreaded agency.
The Delhi NIA court, in its March 16 order, discharges photojournalist Kamran Yusuf, vendor Javed Ahmad Bhat, and Syeda Asiya Andrabi, who were booked by the India’s dreaded National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the 2017 of a fake case of funding liberation movement, said that the evidence against them was insufficient.
In all, there were 17 Kashmiri leaders in that fake case including Hurriyet leaders, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Mehrajudin Kalwal, Peer Saifullah, Ayaz Akbar, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Farooq Ahmad Dar, Shahidul Islam, Eng Rashid, Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali, and others. The court, however, ordered framing of charges against the remaining 14 detaianed under various draconian laws like Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the report said.
The NIA had said that photojournalist Kamran Yusuf, vendor Javed Ahmad Bhat were involved in several stone-pelting incidents and had links with the over-ground workers of some militancy outfits. However, Special Judge (NIA) Parveen Singh in his March 16 order said there was no sufficient evidence to raise a suspicion that the two were part of a larger conspiracy. “There is no evidence before the court that reflects that they were part of a conspiracy to propagate a secessionist agenda,” the court said. Both the persons were out on bail since 2018.
The NIA had filed a case in 2017 and then filed the charge sheet against all the 17 Kashmiri leaders, claiming that they were conspiring with armed liberation organisations to ‘instigate general public to come on streets for Azaadi . sources
