Gandhinagar: An NGO
representing some of the victims of 2002 Gujarat riots Monday
moved an application before the Nanavati-Mehta judicial inquiry
commission probing these cases, seeking various directions on the
state government over police documents the state government said
had been destroyed.
Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) convener Amrish Patel moved the plea
urging the probe panel to direct the home secretary to state on
affidavit as to which specific records of the state intelligence
department were destroyed for the period between Feb 27-May 31,
2002.
The NGO has also urged the panel to direct the government to give
the name of the officer who ordered to destroy the documents for
the period along with the reasons for doing so.
The application states that the government should also state and
produce the certificate of actual destruction of the documents
which are claimed to be destroyed.
The NGO has also urged the panel to inquire from the state
government as to whether any documents or records of the director
general of police's (DGP) office, the DGP's control room , control
rooms of the city police commissioners of Ahmadabad, Vadorara,
Rajkot and Surat for this period have been destroyed or not.
The state government's counsel S.B. Vakil told media persons June
29 that the government had destroyed the intelligence bureau (IB)
records for the year 2002, in 2007. He had said the state IB
records such as control room phone records, official vehicles
logbooks etc. were already destroyed.
The matter will be heard on July 9.
