New Delhi:
The home ministry Monday sought a probe into the "controversial"
arrest of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Sayyed Liyaqat Shah following
contradictions between the claims of Delhi Police and Jammu and
Kashmir Police, official sources said.
The ministry has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to
probe Shah's arrest by Delhi Police March 20.
The ministry's decision meets the demand of Jammu and Kashmir
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah who had asked for an NIA probe into
the issue.
"The NIA has been asked to examine both the versions and give its
view," a home ministry official told IANS.
Shah, a resident of Dardpora village in Kashmir's Kupwara
district, was arrested from Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur when he
entered India through the Sunauli checkpost on the India-Nepal
border. He had flown to Kathmandu, Nepal, via Karachi in Pakistan.
There are two conflicting versions on Shah's arrest.
While Delhi Police claim he was part of a terrorist plot
attempting to launch a fidayeen (suicide) attack in the capital,
Jammu and Kashmir Police say he was on his way back home from
Pakistan to surrender under the rehabilitation policy of the
government.
Abdullah had Saturday discussed Shah's arrest with Home Minister
Sushilkumar Shinde and had emphasised that the case should be
probed by the NIA to establish the facts.
Shah's family has also claimed he was returning home in the
Kashmir Valley under the rehabilitation policy for surrendered
militants.
