Mumbai:
The CBI under instructions of the Mumbai High Court has been
investigating the Hari Masjid incident of the 92-93 riots for more
than six months now. Yet, they have not found time to record the
statements of those living near the Masjid. Among them are Roshan Bi
Hasan and her daughter-in-law Nafisa, both of whom deposed at length
in front of Justice Srikrishna.
The Srikrishna Commission had indicted then sub-inspector Nikhil
Kapse for his unprovoked firing during the incident, which left six
dead. In February this year, the CBI charged Kapse with murder, but
has not yet arrested him.
Roshan Bi told the Commission that after the police firing at Hari
Masjid, her son Adam, who had gone to offer namaz there, was asked
to load the dead bodies into the police vehicle and then told to get
into the vehicle. That was the last time he was seen. When they went
to inquire about Adam, Roshan Bi and Adam’s wife Nafisa were sent by
the RAK Marg police to various lock-ups and hospitals, and even told
that he must have run away to their village. Finally he was
registered as ‘missing’, even though he was last seen in police
custody.
Both Roshan Bi, now 82 and paralysed from the waist down, and Nafisa
still hope Adam might return. Nafisa, who’s had to bring up six
children single-handed, is sceptical about Kapse ever being
punished. “The government and the culprit are on the same side,” she
says.
Then there’s Yakub Bhai, owner of the small dyeing factory facing
the Masjid, who saw the entire incident. Fifty-four persons had been
rounded up after the incident from the site and charged with
rioting. The case dragged on for 13 years and the accused were
finally acquitted in 2006. Among the accused was Farooq Mapkar, who
was injured in the police firing. Tired of waiting for the
government to act against Nikhil Kapse as recommended by Justice Sri
Krishna, Farooq filed a petition asking that the CBI investigate the
incident. Immediately, the government filed a new charge sheet
against him, and he was acquitted earlier this year.
So far, the CBI has examined 51 witnesses, including Kapse, Mapkar,
13 policemen, including then DCP K L Bishnoi (who told the
Commission that he, not Kapse, had ordered the firing ), fire
brigade officials, doctors and 17 of the accused (or their
relatives) in the incident.
Interestingly, the CBI’s status report filed in court reveals that
the Mumbai police and the Home Department are in no hurry to see
Kapse punished. They have yet to send the records of the incident
which the CBI has requested.
