Srinagar, Mar 27: A local court today directed the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar, to register an FIR against four persons including a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officer for falsely implicating a man under fabricated rape and murder charges.
Chief Judicial Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar, Virender Singh Bhou directed the SSP Srinagar to register a case against the CRPF officer, Satyaveer Singh Verma, who is second in Command to the Commandant of 44-Bn of CRPF at Zainakote Srinagar; a lady doctor, Pawanjeet Kour of Mattan, Anantnag; Alka Verma wife of the CRPF officer, and Mohammad Jameel, Probationary Sub Inspector at Parimpora Police Station.
After hearing the petition filed by Kapoor, the CJM said the allegations in the petition are serious in nature and constitute cognizable case.
“Therefore, the SSP Srinagar shall register an FIR in the concerned police station and get the matter investigated by an officer not below the rank of Inspector,” the CJM directed, adding the Action Taken Report should be filed in court within 15 days.
The four accused had falsely implicated a man, Deepak Kumar Kapoor of RS Pura, Jammu, for rape (376) and murder (307) of the lady doctor at her office in 44-Bn Zainakote on September last year, where she is posted as contractual Medical Officer.
Subsequently, on their complaint the police filed an FIR No. 266/13 under Section 307, 376, 511, 452 323 RPC at Parimpora Police Station in Srinagar against Kapoor, who was taken in judicial custody for 4 months after court directions.
However, the police after investigations into the case dropped the murder charges against Kapoor for lack of evidence and the charges of rape (376) and 511 were also scaled down to Section 354 by Additional District Judge Srinagar later.
The petitioner told the court he had an affair with Kour and had went to her office in Zainakote to meet her. “But she along with the CRPF officer, Verma, staged a criminal conspiracy to implicate me in the false case. Kour and Verma had developed illicit relationship and thus wanted to implicate me to pave way for their marriage,” Kapoor told Court.
Kapoor had prayed before the court to direct Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, or the Central Bureau of Investigation to lodge an FIR against the accused persons and investigate the matter for justice.
