Former J&K Prime Minister and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday accused the CID of keeping the party’s youth wing chairman Waheed Para in “inhumane conditions” and accused the department of implicating him in a “fraudulent and politically motivated case. “.
Para has been in the custody of Counter Intelligence (Kashmir) in Srinagar since January 9, the same day he was granted bail in a separate case brought by the NIA.
Mehbooba claimed on Twitter that the CID had replaced the SIT chief investigating the case “because he refused to be an accomplice in the elaboration of fabricated charges.” “Waheed is being persecuted and tortured to admit the false accusations. Since he was not admitted, he is kept in inhumane conditions. This investigation has been fraudulent and politically motivated from day one, ”he wrote.
Calling the actions of the authorities “shameful and shocking,” the former CM said that “the rule that dictates such misleading investigations is ‘Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.’
In response to the allegations, J&K police, without naming Mehbooba, said comments regarding CID investigations made on social media were “unfortunate” and increased the risk of “negatively influencing witnesses.”
In a statement, the police said: “Recent comments on CID investigations in the public domain via social media are unfortunate for two reasons: for being incorrect and for making CID officers vulnerable to greater threats and greater risks. It is also fraught with the risks of negatively influencing witnesses and the course of the investigation. It is in fact wrong for an investigated person to have been tortured. CID investigations are carried out professionally and in accordance with the law ”.
The statement added that all arrested appear before the competent court periodically according to the law. Every suspect arrested has access to medical care and doctors.
“It is neither appropriate nor legal to discuss and issue verdicts as comments in the public domain on ongoing complex investigations,” he said.
