Shabir Shah remanded for 1991 case

Accused of instigating youth to cross LoC

Srinagar, April 13: Senior Hurriyat (M) leader and Democratic Freedom party leader Shabir Shah has been remanded to Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) till April 18 in a 19 year old FIR in which Shah along with other prominent separatist leaders have been accused of “instigating Kashmiri youth to cross LoC for arms training”.This has been revealed in the application April 02, 2010 furnished by CIK to the court while seeking his remand in the case. However, Democratic Freedom Party has refuted the allegations leveled by CIK against Shah saying that he was in jail from 1989 to 1994.
The remand application of CIK reads, “Police Station CIK wanted to take action against Shah in the particular case but he used to be behind bars for most of the time in other cases. Shah has been accused that he along with Syed Ali Geelani, Prof Abdul Gani Bhat and late Abdul Gani Lone instigated youth to take arms training across LoC in 1991.”
“On October 3, 1991, CIK received specific information from its sources that Shah in league with the leaders from Jamaat, JKLF and Peoples League conspired to instigate Kashmiri youth against India to secure Kashmir’s secession,” the document issued by CIK Kashmir to Shah reads.
“In this regard, a case FIR 15 of 1991 under Section 153-A, 120-B, read with 13 ULA stands registered in PS CIK Srinagar.”
On the other hand, DFP has refuted allegations leveled by CIK against Shah in the application before the court while seeking his remand. “The allegations leveled by CIK against Shah are baseless as he was under incarceration from 1989 to 1994 in Jodhpur Jail while as FIR stands registered in 1991,” DFP spokesman said.
Shah was recently released from Kathua Jail after High Court quashed his detention orders under PSA. But soon after his release from the jail, Shah was shifted to JIC Jammu by CI, Jammu. Three days back, he was shifted to Srinagar, where he has been remanded to PS CIK in a 1991 case. Courtesy Rising Kashmir News
