| Tufail Matto killing: Crime Branch closes case as 'untraced' | | | S Sabaqat
Early Times Report
Srinagar: A Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Crime Branch, probing the death of 12th class student Tufail Mattoo in 2010, has closed the case as untraced.
"The investigation conducted by CBK has vindicated the one conducted by SIT of JK Police which had come to the same conclusion as was arrived at by this team," the Crime Branch said in the report submitted before the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Srinagar, Virender Singh Bhou who issued summons to Tufail's family to appear before it on June 3.
The crime branch has submitted that there were three varied accounts of the eyewitnesses, official witnesses of police and expert opinion in the case as a result there can be no conclusive culmination of investigation which would appear commensurate with the merits of the case.
Tufail Mattoo's killing on June 11, 2010 allegedly after a teargas shell fired hit him on the head near Gani Memorial Stadium in Rajouri Kadal area of old city triggered massive protest in the Valley.
"The fact that a young life got lost with mystery shrouding the circumstances in which the unfortunate death took place, where eyewitness blame that some police men who could not be identified were responsible for his death while on the other hand the police and official witnesses present in the area during the law and order duty appear oblivious of what exactly were the circumstances under which the incident took place," the Crime Branch said.
The probe was handed over to Crime Branch by High Court on 14 February last year while quashing an order by Special Mobile Magistrate (PT&E) Srinagar on March 1 2013, accepting closure report by the SIT of police. |
