| Babar Qadri assassination: Police to summon lawyer | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 26: The Jammu and Kashmir Police are all set to summon for questioning a senior lawyer in the connection with the assassination of the noted rights activist and TV debater Advocate Babar Qadri.
Sources said the police have got enough evidence to question the senior lawyer in connection with the assassination.
The sources said the Lal Bazar police, which is investigating the case is likely to send a summon to the lawyer in the coming days for his questioning.
It was reliably learnt that an officer of the rank of Dy SP flanked by his colleagues would hold the initial questioning of the lawyer in connection with the case.
The issue of summon comes a few days after the JK Police raided residence of three lawyers in Kashmir in connection with the high profile case.
On August 24, the police carried out raids across four locations including at the residence of former Kashmir High Court Bar Association president Mian Abdul Qayoom in Srinagar as part of the 2020 probe into the assassination of advocate Babar Qadri.
“Searches were conducted at four locations that include two in the Barzulla area, one in Brein Nishat, and one in Maisuma in houses and offices of three lawyers in connection with the killing of Advocate Babar Qadri. The houses of lawyers Mian Abdul Qayoom, Muzaffar Ahmad, and Manzoor Ahmed Dar were searched in furtherance of the investigation of the murder case,” the police had said.
On December 17, 2020, the J&K police had arrested a duo from Central Jail in Srinagar after their names surfaced in the assassination of Babar Qadri. JKP then took the custody of the duo from Central Jail Srinagar, in connection with the case (FIR Number 62/2020 u/s 302 IPC, 7/27 Arms Act, and 16/18 UAPA) on September 24, 2020.
As per the police, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Saqib Manzoor, who was killed in an anti-terror operation, was responsible for Qadri’s killing. Pertinently, on September 24, 2020, gunmen fired upon Qadri around 6:25 pm from a point-blank range, killing him on the spot at his Hawal residence. |
