J&K STF engineered attack on Parliament: Guru
KT NEWS SERVICE
NEW DELHI, Oct 5: Mohammad Afzal Guru, whose wife's mercy petition to save him from the gallows is now pending with the President, has cited the alleged role of a middle-level officer of the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the terrorist attack on the Parliament House in December 2001 and how he was repeatedly threatened with elimination of his family if he spoke out the truth.
In a statement that is on the records of the Delhi High Court, Afzal has named Dravinder Singh, a DSP of Special Task Force (STF), a crack commando force now known as Special Operation Group (SOG), as allegedly forcing him to escort to Delhi Mohammad, one of the terrorists killed in the Parliament attack, and get him accommodation and buy him a car. He has claimed that a cursory look at the phone numbers recorded in his cell phone would have revealed the numbers of STF.
"Mohammad and I used to get different phone calls from Dravinder Singh....If phone numbers recorded will be seen carefully, the court would have come to know the phone numbers of STF," says Afzal's statement.
It further asserts: "STF made me a scapegoat in this entire criminal act which was designed and directed by STF and others which I don't know. Special police is definitely part of this game..."
He has described himself as a victim of the stick-and-carrot policy of STF and the Special Cell of Delhi Police in a statement filed by his lawyer Colin Gonsalves before the Delhi High Court that ignored his contentions and confirmed his death sentence. He narrates how he was made a scapegoat for the conspiracy hatched by the police officer he names.
According to him, he was told that "if I will speak according to their wishes, they will not harm my family members and also gave me false assurance that they will make my case weak so that after sometime I will get released."
Afzal cited that betrayal of the authorities to his wife in Tihar Jail here on Tuesday for losing any faith in the Indian system to apply for commutation of his death sentence and stoppage of the hanging ordered on October 20. The hanging is, however, put on hold because of his wife's mercy petition.
Afzal says: "I am living and organic eye-witness to various tortures and custodial killings and I am myself the victim of STF terror and torture. Being a surrendered militant of JKLF, I was constantly harassed, threatened and agonised by various security agencies like Army, BSF and STF....Under these circumstances and under this fearful environment, persons like me were always ready to play any dirty game in the hands of STF, just for survival."
He claims to have been introduced to Humhama DSP Dravinder Singh, whom he accuses as the police officer allegedly engineering the Parliament attack conspiracy, by Altaf Hussain, brother-in-law of Budgam SSP Ashaq Hussain. He describes Altaf as "the broker between my family and DSP Dravinder Singh."
"One day Altaf took me to Dravinder Singh. D.S. told me that I had to do a small job for him, that I have to take one man to Delhi as I was well aware about Delhi and has to manage a rented house for him. Since I was not knowing the man, but I suspected that this man is not Kashmiri as he did not speak in Kashmiri. I was helpless to do what Dravinder told me".
"I took him to Delhi. One day, he told me that he wants to purchase a car. Thus I went with him to Karol Bagh. He purchased the car. In Delhi, he used to meet different people and both of us, he, Mohammad and I, used to get the different phone calls from Dravinder Singh."
Afzal says one day Mohammad told him that he can return to Kashmir if he wants and also gave him Rs 35,000. It was only after six or eight days of Afzal renting a room at Indra Vihar in Delhi for bringing his family as he was not happy with the torturous life in Kashmir.
He wanted to return to Delhi with the family after the Eid festival on December 14, 2001 but he was nabbed at Srinagar bus stand while boarding a bus for Sopore and then taken to the STF headquarter and then brought to Delhi and handed over to the Special Cell of Delhi Police.
Afzal has also narrated the drama of the confession before the TV cameras of NDTV, Aaj Tak, Zee News, Sahara TV, etc. organised by Rajbeer Singh, ACP of Special Cell of Delhi Police.
He claims that he was tortured to implicate Shaukat, his wife Navjot Afshan and Delhi University lecturer S A R Geelani. When he declined to do so, "they told me that I should not say anything about Geelani, about his innocence.
"When one of the interviewers, Shams Tahir, told me what is the role of Geelani in Parliament attack, I just said that Geelani is innocent. This moment ACP Rajbeer Singh got up from his wheel chair, shouted at me and told me that he had already told me not to speak about Geelani in front of everybody (Media personnel). Rajbeer Singh's behaviour exposed my helplessness and media personnel at least came to know what Afzal is saying (was) under threat or duress," Afzal's statement added.
