New Delhi: Eleven of the 18
Uttarakhand Police personnel, were sent to jail after they surrendered
themselves before a Delhi court on June 5. They were accused in the 2009
fake encounter case of the MBA student Ranbir Singh in Dehradun.
The accused policemen surrendered before Special CBI Judge VK
Maheshwari in pursuance of the non-bailable warrants issued against them
in May 2012.
"They should be behind the bars and sent to judicial custody," the court said.
The accused cops who surrendered on June 5 include the then
constables Satbir Singh, Sunil Saini, Chander Pal, Saurabh Nautiyal,
Nagendra Nath, Vikas Chandra Baluni, Sanjay Rawat,Mohan Singh Rana,
Inder Bhan Singh and Manoj Kumar and Head operator at city control room
Jaspal Singh Gosain.
The constables are among the 18 policemen charge sheeted by the
CBI in connection with Ranbir Singh encounter case that rocked the hill
state in July 2009.
The other accused in the case are presently lodged in Tihar Jail.
They include the then inspector Santosh Jaiswal, Sub-inspectors Gopal
Dutt Bhatt, Rajesh Bisht, Neeraj Kumar, Nitin Chauhan and Chandra Mohan
and constable Ajeet Singh.
They were arrested in wake of evidence that 22-year-old Singh, an
MBA student from Ghaziabad, was allegedly gunned down by Uttarakhand
Police after being caught at Mohini Road where he and his companions
were allegedly trying to commit some crime on July 3, 2009.
The court fixed July 4, the next date of hearing and also allowed
the plea of these 11 accused that they be kept together in jail as they
are police personnel and apprehend fear from other inmates.
The case was transferred to Delhi by the Supreme Court on the plea of Ranbir's father Ravindra Singh.
The court had issued NBWs against them to ensure their presence before it.
Ranbir's father had alleged that his son had gone to Dehradun in
search of a job where he was arrested by the police on July 3, 2009 on
pretext of being involved in some robbery.
He had alleged that on the same day, 29 bullets were pumped into his body and the incident was passed off as an encounter.
All the 18 policemen have been charged for various offences such
as murder, kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, destruction of evidence and
public servant framing incorrect record.
