Uttarakhand Police claimed that it was a special operation involving cops from different police stations in which a MBA student was gunned down but the common thread between them was not revealed, said a city court while rejecting their theory of encounter killing.
The court noted that personnel from two police stations and a special operation group were involved in the incident while the policeman of the Raipur police station in Dehradun was kept away from the encounter, where the incident took place. “The place of incident in ladpur is within jurisdiction of police station Raipur, Dehradun. Dehradun is a small city compared to Metro cities. The President of India is visiting the city on July 3, 2009. The city is on high alert, but the policeman of police station Raipur are nowhere,” the court observed, while awarding life term to the 17 Uttarakhand policeman involved in the fake encounter of a MBA student.
The judge further observed that the “policemen of police station Dalanwala, police station Nehru Colony and Special Operation Group (SOG) all of Dehradun city were involved. A (accused)-3 Rajesh Bisht, A-16 Inderbhan Singh, A-13 Vikas Chander Baluni and A-14 Sanjay Rawat, were of PS (police station) Nehru Colony, A-5 Nitin Chauhan, A-10 Chander Pal and A-11 Saurabh Nautiyal, were of SOG, and rest of PS Dalanwala, what was the common thread between the three has not been revealed.”
