Anti-Hindu Congress and ATS Bogus Journey - Part ४

Irresponsible columns written by a drawing room counter-terrorism expert on looking for Hindu terrorists set off the string-puller in that direction?

Dangerous lunatics - Expose by Deccan Chronicle

* If Lt. Col. Purohit did not 'confess' to stealing 60 kgs of RDX from the army in his shopping bag, who, how and why did ALL newspapers and TV channels say he did?

* And why and how did the Haryana police all of a sudden sing a different tune declaring that the deaths on the Samjhauta Express was not caused by TIDs (incendiary substances) but by RDX using (IEDs)?

I am beginning to suspect that the irresponsible columns written by one drawing room counter-terrorism expert on looking for Hindu terrorists set off the string-puller in that direction.

Now the expert cannot shed crocodile tears about the nature of the investigations.

So how is my spoof on how the ATS 'manufactures' its reports different from the news below? I am beginning to get the nasty feeling that whoever is strategising this attack against Hindus and other high national institutions is using only a small section of the ATS to do this dirty job -- like the CIA has its dirty tricks dept. This small section probably is personally beholden or something else to the string-puller. I am extremely grateful to Deccan Chronicle for the courage of its news reporting.

I now ask the pointed question -- if Lt. Col. Purohit did not 'confess' to stealing 60 kgs of RDX from the army in his shopping bag, who, how and why did ALL nerwspapers and TV channels say he did? And why and how did the haryana police all of a sudden sing a different tune declaring that the deaths on the Samjhauta Express was not caused by TIDs (incendiary substances) but by RDX using (IEDs)? I am beginning to suspect that the irresponsible columns written by one drawing room counter-terrorism expert on looking for hindu terrorists set off the string-puller in that direction. Now the expert cannot shed crocodile tears about the nature of the investigations.

Purohit did not filch RDX

Bengaluru, Nov. 17: Lt. Col. Srikant Purohit, in the custody of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad in connection with the Malegaon blasts, did not obtain any RDX from Jammu and Kashmir during his stint in the Military Intelligence, the Anti-Terror Squad and sources in the Forensic Science Laboratory, Bengaluru, said.

Sources in the Maharashtra ATS said that Lt. Col. Purohit had not confessed to having taken RDX either during his interrogation or narcoanalysis. "The inference that he obtained 60 kg of RDX in Jammu and Kashmir for terror blasts and that he gave the explosives to one Bhagwan to execute the Samjhauta Express blasts in 2007 was cooked up. We don't know the source of these media stories," said an official source.

During narcoanalysis tests conducted on Purohit by the Forensic Science Laboratory, Bengaluru, last week, the Army man categorically denied having taken RDX from any source during his J&K stint. Questions in this regard were repeated to him but each time he strongly denied that he had any links to the RDX. He was cooperative and answered with clarity, said sources.

Sources in the Army also said a Military Intelligence officer has no access to explosives. "He is in mufti and his brief is to collect intelligence on insurgency and anti-national activities. Also, the Army does not use or store RDX," an official source said.

Narco tests lose credibility

Suspects file a slew of petitions

A Nashik court on Monday extended the judicial custody for eight Malegaon blast suspects — Pragnya Singh Thakur, Shiv Narayan Kalsanghra, Shyam Bhawarlal Sahu, Ajay Rahirkar, Jagdish Mhatre, Rakesh Dhawde, Sameer Kulkarni and Ramesh Upadhyay — till November 29.
A host of applications from the suspects asking for meetings with relatives and right to liberty, copies of remand statements alleging custodial torture and two pertaining to narco tests were filed in the court. They will be heard on November 29.
Ramesh Upadhyay alleged that three postcards he sent to his friends seeking legal representation were not despatched by the Anti-Terrorism Squad. This restricted his right to liberty. He said basic necessities such as soap were also not allowed.
The court allowed the presence of a lawyer during the interrogation of blast suspect Sudhakar Dwivedi alias Dayanand Pandey.
An application moved by lawyer Kishore Vig said that Dwivedi was being tortured in custody and he faced a threat to his life. Mr. Vig argued for the rights of the accused and protection against police pressure. He cited the D.K. Basu judgment of 1997 in the Supreme Court, which laid down certain guidelines for custodial treatment of the accused — Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.PC) pertaining to examination of witnesses and Article 20 (3) of the Constitution which states that “no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself.”
Mr. Vig, therefore, asked for either a lawyer or a relative to be present.
Chief Judicial Magistrate H.K. Ganatra ruled that a lawyer be allowed to be present “whenever it is asked by the accused and whenever necessary.” This also covered narco tests as they were part of interrogation, Mr. Vig later told the media.
