Early Times Report
Jammu, May 20: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Thursday dismissed suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police, Davinder Singh and two government teachers under the recently invoked Article 311 of the Constitution of India.
As per three separate orders issued by the General Administration Department confirming the trio’s dismissal from service with immediate effect, Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha has been satisfied that their “activities are such as to warrant” their dismissal from service.
The orders further said the LG is satisfied under sub-clause (c) of the proviso to clause (2) of the Constitution of India, that “in the interest of the security of the state, it is not expedient to hold an enquiry ” against Singh and the two teachers.
According to the NIA chargesheet filed before a special court in Jammu last year, Singh, who was posted in the sensitive anti-hijacking unit of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, had been in constant touch with his handlers in the Pakistan High Commission who have since been repatriated to Islamabad.Singh, who has been accused by the NIA of providing support to banned terror group Hizbul Mujahideen, was tasked by his Pakistani handler with establishing a "contact" in the Ministry of External Affairs for carrying out espionage activities.The 3,064-page chargesheet, filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and sections of the Indian Penal Code against Singh and five others, gave a graphic description of the police officer''s involvement in providing shelter to the terrorists of the banned group.
The chargesheet said he had saved the number of his contact at the Pakistan High Commission as "Pak Bhai" (Pakistani brother). The contact had been giving him various tasks which included deployment of forces and arrival of "VIPs" in the Kashmir valley.After having committed himself to Hizbul Mujahideen, Singh was asked by his Pakistani handler to establish a contact in the Ministry of External Affairs so that espionage activities could be carried out there.However, Singh was unable to make any headway in the plan, the NIA officials said.
The chargesheet, filed in the first week of July last year, accused Singh and others of waging "war against India" with the help of Pakistan-based terrorists and members of the country''s high commission in Delhi.Besides Singh, others named in the chargesheet are self-styled commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen terror group Syed Naveed Mushtaq alias Naveed Babu, his brother Syed Irfan Ahmad as well as the group''s alleged overground worker Irfan Shafi Mir, alleged accomplice Rafi Ahmad Rather and businessman Tanveer Ahmad Wani, a former president of the Line of Control Traders Association.Singh was arrested on January 11 this year along with Naveed Babu, Rather and Mir, an advocate, when their car was intercepted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police near Qazigund on the national highway that connects the valley with the rest of the country
The two dismissed teachers comprise Bashir Ahmad Sheikh, son of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh of village Dildar Batpora of Tehsil Karnah in Kupwara district and Mohammad Yousuf Ganie, son of Ghulam Qadir Ganie hailing from Trich Kupwara.
Earlier, three more employees, two teachers and a revenue officer were dismissed by the government under the same Article 311.
The government had set up a task force for recommending the employees to be dismissed “in the interest of the security of the state”. |
