No word
on ISI hand in Babri demolition, cop tells court
Thursday, April 29, 2010 11:02:12 PM,
IANS |

Lucknow:
Anju Gupta, a senior police officer and key witness in the Babri
Mosque demolition case, Thursday refuted the defence contention that
Pakistan's intelligence agency was involved in pulling down the 16th
century mosque.
During her cross-examination, Indian Police Service (IPS) officer
Gupta maintained before the special Central Bureau of Investigation
(CBI) court in Rae Bareli that the mosque was under greater threat
from Hindu karsewaks than Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Hari Dutt Sharma, defence counsel representing senior Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani and other accused in the case,
sought to know whether any official warning was sent from the
central government to the then zonal inspector general (IG) of
police A.K. Sharan, about the possibility of ISI members getting
mingled with Hindu karsewaks to carry out their mission of
demolishing the mosque.
Gupta told the court, "No such information was on record that ISI
can vitiate the communal atmosphere."
The same question was repeated in different forms but Gupta
consistently maintained that had any such information been given to
police, it would have been on record. "Therefore, there was no basis
of the claims made by the defence counsel," she told the court.
While admitting that a passing reference was made by the IG of a
vague threat from the ISI, Gupta, who was in charge of Advani's
security in Ayodhya at the time of the demolition, said there was
nothing specific on that account.
Gupta also refuted defence counsel's claims that the Central Reserve
Police Force and the Provincial Armed Constabulary were present in
very large numbers at the disputed site.
Gupta also contradicted defence counsel's claim that Advani had left
the disputed site well before 6 p.m. that day.
In her statement before the court, Gupta said that Advani was
present there well past 7.30 p.m. "The last message about presence
of Advani was received on my mobile at 7.45 p.m.," she told the
court.
The recording of Gupta's statement concluded around 2 p.m. Defence
counsel sought another date for continuation of her
cross-examination.
The court deferred the matter for May 15 for further
cross-examination of Gupta.
