Poonch Attack: Common People Are Being Tortured, Says Mehbooba Mufti

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday alleged that the people of Poonch and Rajouri districts were being harassed and tortured by the security forces after the recent attack in Poonch that left five soldiers dead. She also demanded an in-depth probe into the attack.
Addressing a press conference at party headquarters, Mehbooba targetted the central government over the militant attack and said that an in-depth investigation of the attack should be done.
“How did the attack happen in a highly-secured area that is under the heavy presence of troops? There should be an investigation into the incident so that the truth comes forward. But the truth should not come at the cost of harassing the people of Rajouri and Poonch,” she added.
The PDP chief said that ever since the attack took place the authorities have been “oppressing” the common people in the twin districts. “The situation is that the people of these areas are being harassed, caught, questioned, and tortured,” she alleged.
Questioning the death of Mukhtar Shah, a resident of the Bataduria area of Poonch, who allegedly committed suicide after being questioned in connection to the poonch attack Mehbooba said, “A purported video of Shah came out in which he says he was fed up because his family, friends, and villagers were harassed. There should be an investigation,” Mufti said,
Adding further she said that there are two others who have also been grievously injured because of sustained questioning and torture.
In the aftermath of the Poonch incident, hundreds of people have been questioned and among which dozens of people are either in NIA, army or police custody, she said. “People of Rajouri and Poonch are the most peace-loving and have never supported guns,” she said.
The PDP leader also alleged, “The locals are being oppressed ever since the start of G-20 events. Hundreds of local youth have been picked ahead of the G-20 meeting which is being held in Srinagar next month.”

“Ever since the process of the G-20 meeting has started, an arrest spree has started and people are being questioned. The situation in J&K is worse than in Guantanamo Bay. Let them do the G-20 event, but why are the youth being arrested?” she asked—(KNO)

[ad_1]
Prayagraj: An 11-year-old girl has been admitted to the city’s cantonment board hospital with brutal injuries
The doctors not only found torture marks on her body but also pieces of wood from her private parts.
The woman, who brought the girl to the hospital, claims that she adopted the minor. However, the police detained her after she could not give a satisfactory response to questions about the girl’s injuries.
The accused woman called Dr Sidharth Pandey and told him that the 11-year-old sustained minor injuries during a sibling fight.
The next morning, she visited the hospital with the girl and the doctors were shocked to find out the nature of the injuries.
Dr Pandey said, “An X-ray revealed several old and new injuries on her body, including her private parts. Following this, she was examined by a female gynaecologist who found pieces of wood in her private parts. The girl also had a fractured hand. In view of the injuries, we informed the police.”
The accused woman is a resident of an apartment in the Dhumanganj area of the city and her husband is a teacher at a prominent school.
The woman claimed that she had adopted the girl from a shelter home in Kanpur, but the girl has said that following her mother’s death and abandonment by her father, she was taken home by the accused.

The child also revealed that she was starved routinely and not given food for more than 14 days in a month, added Dr Pandey.
Sharing further details, Rajesh Maurya, SHO of Dhumanganj police station, said that the accused woman has been detained and is being questioned.
“Based on the findings of the questioning, we will take further actions,” he said.
The injured girl is undergoing treatment at the Cantonment Board Hospital, he added.

Sisodia being tortured by CBI, pressured to sign documents with false charges: AAP

[ad_1]
New Delhi: AAP national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj Sunday claimed the CBI was “torturing” senior party leader Manish Sisodia and pressuring him to sign papers containing false charges.
The federal probe agency arrested Sisodia on February 26 for allegedly not cooperating in the investigation into the Delhi excise policy case and being evasive on questions from investigators. A special CBI court on Saturday extended the custody of Sisodia till March 6.
On February 28, Sisodia resigned from the Arvind Kejriwal-led cabinet.
According to officials, the agency wants to utilise Sisodia’s custody to locate the crucial missing file containing legal opinions on the expert committee recommendations on the excise policy, which remains untraceable even now.
“Manish Sisodia is being tortured by the CBI and being pressured to sign the documents containing false charges framed against him. CBI has no evidence against Sisodia. They never mentioned any evidence is missing. They raided his residence but found nothing,” Bhardwaj told reporters here on Sunday.
Sisodia, who was produced before the court on Saturday on the expiry of his five-day CBI custody, claimed that he was “sitting for eight to nine hours” and answering the same questions again and again” and termed it “mental harassment”.
To this, the judge, who had in the last hearing directed the CBI not to use the third degree on the accused, told the probe agency not to ask the “same questions again and again”. “If you have something new, ask him,” the judge said.
