| Authorities wait for 14 years to take action against conspirators of fake rape-murder case of Shopian | | 2 doctors, including female gynaecologist terminated for preparing fake rape report at Pakistan’s behest | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 22: Infamous Shopian rape-cum-murder case against imprinted after Union Territory administration terminated services of two doctors including a female gynecologist for fudging post-mortem reports on the direction of Pakistan.
Fourteen years have passed since the incident, but it continues to send shockwaves across the country and the latest revelation in the decade-old double murder case is enough to expose Pakistan ISI’s ill intentions and actions to sow discord against the Indian state.
The J&K government has now identified two doctors, Dr Bilal Ahmad Dalal, and Dr. Nighat Shaheen Chilloo, to have conspired with Pakistan’s ISI to falsify the post-mortem report of Asiya and Neelofar, who had died by accidental drowning on May 29, 2009. By fabricating evidence, the duo wanted to cause disaffection against the Indian state by falsely accusing the security forces of rape and murder.
But the investigation has now found Dr Bilal and Dr Nighat to be working at the behest of Pakistan’s ISI and the terror outfits. Shockingly, the investigation reveals that top echelon of the then government knew about the facts, which were then buried while Kashmir was reeling under the fit of anger and rage, a top official said on the condition of anonymity.
Dr Night, a Consultant Gynaecologist posted at Sub-District Hospital, Govt Health Dept, Chadoora, Budgam, and Dr Bilal, a Medical Officer posted at NTPHC Shopian, were key players in the conspiracy, who created false evidence and a bogus post-mortem report to the extent that they even replaced the biological samples to falsely implicate innocent police officers. The doctors falsely reported that they conducted a lung floatation test, which proves death by drowning.
Four police officers including a District SP were arrested during the initial investigation, but the CBI probe later revealed that they were falsely implicated. Even then, the lack of local CBI counsel delayed justice.
When CBI’s investigation proved that Asiya and Neelofar died by drowning and not by murder, HCBA’s Mian Qayoom’s Bar Association turned to Pakistan to take up the issue with the International Court of Justice at the Hague.
Two women namely Nilofar Jaan, 22, and her sister-in-law Asiya Jaan, 17, were found dead by the side of a stream in Shopian town on May 29, 2009, triggering a Valley-wide agitation with people alleging that the duo had been raped and subsequently murdered by the security forces.
The allegation was further triggered after a team of doctors conducted postmortems of both the deceased and claimed that they were raped and murdered.
There were violent protests against the incident, with protesters accusing CRPF personnel of raping and murdering both women.
Amidst violent protest, the then state government headed by Omar Abdullah on 3 June 2009, appointed a commission headed by Justice Muzaffar Ahmad Jan to investigate the case.
The panel submitted a 400-page report to the government in which it was suggested that the killings were most likely the result of a family feud that was misrepresented by the media.
On 12 August 2009, Jammu and Kashmir Government decided to hand over the case to the CBI.
In September 2009, forensic scientists found during the autopsy that one of the two victims was a virgin, thereby ruling out the possibility of rape
The investigators accused the protesters of falsifying and fabricating evidence in order to discredit the Indian security forces.
After the case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), fresh autopsies were conducted, and sustained interrogation of the local doctors revealed that scientific evidence about the deaths of the two women had been fudged to give credibility to the allegations that the women had been raped and then murdered.
The CBI investigations had confirmed that the two women had died due to drowning.
It had been found that the accused doctors fabricated and fudged the slides to defame the police and security forces thereby violating Rule 3 of J&K Employees Act 1971.
The CBI had accused doctors of fabricating the slides of the vaginal swab of two women.
In its report, the CBI had stated that it had been conclusively established during the investigation that the slides sent for scientific examination were fabricated by Dr. Nighat with the active connivance of some other doctors. |
