Terrorist gets 9-yr RI Jammu, January 2 Principal-designated TADA/POTA Judge P.N. Razdan, in his order yesterday, observed that the prosecution succeeded in proving beyond doubt that the accused was member of a gang of terrorists that had engaged a police party in an encounter in 2001 in which a police guide and an ultra were killed. According to the prosecution, Fazal was seen fleeing from the scene of the encounter between ultras and a joint party of the local police and the CRPF in Dogan forests under Bani police station. His identity was revealed to the police by an ultra, Abdul Rehman, before he succumbed to the bullet injuries received during the gunfight. Warrants were issued against five others, whose identity was revealed by Abdul Rehman. They are Farooq Hansari, Sadiq, Javed, Majid Hussain (all from Mangota Doda) and Reyaz of Lowang Basohli. The judge declared them absconders. According to the police case, the SHO of Bani police station had received an information that seven to eight terrorists were staying at Dungan forest house. When a joint team of the local police and CRPF reached the spot, the terrorists opened fire on the personnel forcing them retaliate. In the encounter that ensued, police party’s guide Safdar Ali was killed and a terrorist was captured in a serious condition who disclosed his name as Abdul Rehman. In his dying declaration, Abdul Rehman revealed the identity of other terrorists who were involved in the encounter following which Zahid Fazal was arrested. —

Complex in memory of paratrooper Jammu, January 2 Chetri joined the Army in March, 2002, and volunteered for 9 Para (special forces), an elite unit of the Army. On April 22 last year during
Operation Sarpvinash, he was part of an assault on a terrorist hideout in the Hill Kaka area. As the team approached the terrorist hideout, it came under heavy automatic fire. Sensing grave danger to his comrades, Chetri seized the initiative and volunteered to assault the hideout. He killed a terrorist and in the ensuing firing he received a gun shot on his right shoulder. Despite this, he continued with the assault and killed two more terrorists before laying his life. The complex named after him comprises 14 buildings which would address the problem of the shortage of accommodation being faced by defence personnel. |
