In his report, the SHO said that in a communication addressed to the commanding officer of army’s 20 Grenadiers on November 14, 2009, police had sought his co-operation to provide full details of the Boatmen Colony-based camp to enable completion of the investigation.

On December 2, 2009, the SHO said, Major Adjutant Rahul Jaiswal of 20 Grenadiers, responded to the police communication stating that the said unit of the army had not conducted any operation in Batamloo area on the night of April 13, 1997 nor had its troops arrested Mushtaq Ahmad. The army official further said the High Court had, on July 19, 2005, dismissed the case. However, he had not furnished the copy of any court order to the effect. On the same day (December 2, 2009), he said Rahul Jaiswal was asked to furnish the court order which he did not send despite lapse of three years.

Meanwhile, Justice Muhammad Yaqub Mir of the High Court has asked the director-general of police to report back to the court in two weeks as to what further steps had been taken in the matter and whether the process to obtain prosecution sanction against the two army officials had been set in motion.

Pertinently, India’s defense secretary, Shashi Kant Sharma, has disbursed Rs 10.90 lakh as compensation to Mushtaq’s family on October 11, 2011. (KMN)
