In a statement, Rihai Manch, which is staging demonstration in the city for last 36 days, said that the suspected involvement of senior IB officers in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case has given credence to allegations that intelligence officials often given wrong inputs on terror cases which results in arrest of innocent Muslims. It said that the family members of terror accused and civil rights groups have been questioning the role of intelligence officials in the arrest of Khalid Mujahid and Tariq Qasmi, who have been accused of being involved in 2007 serial blasts in Lucknow, Faizabad and Varanasi. Mujahid and Qasmi were arrested by Special Task Force of the state police on December 20, 2007 from Barabanki. Huge explosives were also shown as recovered from their possession. The police claimed that they were involved in the serial blasts. However, later, Nimesh Commission formed by the state government found anomalies in the police theory. On May 18 this year, Khalid died under mysterious circumstances on his way back from Faizabad court to Lucknow jail. He was declared brought dead by the doctors. Later, on the complain of his uncle Zahir Alam Falahi, a case was registered against 42 police officers including former DGP Vikram Singh, ADG Brijlal and others who were on duty during the time of Khalid's arrest. Several civil society groups and individuals have also expressed their solidarity with the Rihai Manch. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
