JAMMU, Dec 5: The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Samba Umesh Sharma has directed the Senior Superintendent of Police, Samba to register FIR and hold investigation into midnight attack on labourer by a police team from Police Post Rakh Amb Tali.
The direction has been passed in a complaint filed by Bashir, son of Lal Hussain (uncle of the victim Farman Ali) under Section 175 (3) of BNSS, 2023 through Advocates M Zulkarnain Chowdhary with Advocates Muzzaffar Ali Shah and Yassar Iqbal. The victim was loading sand in a tractor trolly when he was attacked by police team.
After hearing counsels for the complainant CJM Samba said, “the fact as to whether the grievous injury sustained by Farman Ali has been caused by any gun shot or by anything else can only be cleared if a full-fledged investigation is carried out in the matter for which a prior FIR is a sine qua none”.
“A thorough investigation to find out as to whether the gun shot was fired in air or not and if it was fired in air, as to how the same has hit the jaw of Farman Ali as alleged by the complainant is required”, the court said while directing SSP Samba to register FIR with respect to the occurrence and conduct thorough investigation in the matter.
