All India Milli Council (AIMC) and a social activist have knocked High Court doors demanding judicial enquiry of the Bhopal encounter. Advocates Mahendra Singh, Prashant Chourasia, Yawar Mustafa Khan and Arif Masood have filed Public Interest litigation (PIl) on behalf of social worker Awdesh Bhargav and AIMC on Thursday.
The petitioners have sought judicial enquiry of the Bhopal encounter and registration of criminal case against the guilty officers by submitting some evidences in support of their plea alleging that the encounter was fake.
Advocate Yawar Khan while talking to The Pioneer informed that the evidence submitted by him before the high Court on behalf of his clients include some videos of encounter showing shooting of a alleged runaway prisoner and that some of them were wishing to surrender but they were killed. Meanwhile, the AIMC has also written letters to Bhopal Shahar Qazi Syed Mushtaq Ali Nadwi, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Arun Yadav and acting leader of opposition in state assembly Bala Bachchan requesting them to take initiative in demanding judicial probe of the incident.
AIMC state president Arif Masood in his letter to Shahar Qazi Mushtaq Ali Nadwi urged him to convene a meeting of Muslim clerics, scholars, intellectuals and social workers over the issue at Taj ul Masajid, while in his letters to MPCC president Arun Yadav and acting leader of opposition in state assembly Bala Bachchan he has requested to initiate efforts for judicial enquiry of the incidence besides raising the issue in the winter session of the state assembly.
