343| Structures of Violence Kuldeep Khoda for about an hour at his residence. Subsequently, they returned to Ramban and spent a night there. On 2 January 1996, they went back to Batote. SPO Mohammad Ashraf once again met Kuldeep Khoda. The witness also met alleged perpetrator no.1 and told him that he needed to go to Doda and requested that the others be therefore provided a different vehicle. DIG Kuldeep Khoda did not accept this and asked the witness to continue with the group till 4 January 1996. On the same day, the group went to Doda and on the way they picked up two persons unknown to him. Further, at Police Post Assar, SPO Mohammad Ashraf and the two persons unknown to him procured arms and ammunitions and reached Doda on the evening of 2 January 1996. On 3 January 1996, the group proceeded to Bhaderwah and reached by the evening. Then after some work was conducted they proceeded back to Doda. When they reached Pranu at about 9:00 pm, SPO Mohammad Ashraf asked the witness to stop the vehicle. After some time, one p e r s o n w a s b r o u g h t i n t o t h e v e h i c l e . Subsequently, three more persons were brought into the vehicle. SPO Mohammad Ashraf along with his two associates and PSO's boarded the vehicle and asked the witness to proceed towards Doda. On reaching Pul Doda, SPO Mohammad Ashraf asked the witness to proceed towards Thatri as he had to perform some important work. Accordingly the party proceeded towards Thatri. When they reached near Prem Nagar, SPO Mohammad Ashraf stopped the vehicle and got down along with the civilians and his associates and asked the witness and PSO's to remain there on the road till he returned back and did not allow them to accompany him. The witness and PSO's remained on the roadside waiting. After half an hour of their departure the witness heard the sound of gun shots from the Chenab river side. SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates then came to the vehicle after about one hour but none of the civilians were along with them. They then proceeded and got down at the Kishtwar Police Station. The witness went to his residence for the night. On 4 January 1996, SPO Mohammad Ashraf wanted to proceed to Batote and meet with Kuldeep Khoda. On reaching Batote, SPO Mohammad Ashraf went to DIG Kuldeep Khoda's residence and met with him. The witness then himself met Kuldeep Khoda and apprised him about the whole story and informed him that SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates had abducted civilians and then murdered them near Thatri and their dead bodies were thrown in the Chenab river. The witness further stated that DIG Kuldeep Khoda ordered the witness to produce SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates to SSP, Doda [Javed Makhdoomi] on 5 January 1996. On reaching Doda, SPO Mohammad Ashraf went to meet SSP Doda and he was directed to remain present in District Police Line Doda and ordered him not to move outside and also keep the vehicle in District Police Line Doda. The witness later on himself appeared before the SSP, Doda and told him about lifting of the civilians by SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates and then subsequent killings. - Baldev Raj, deputed as a PSO to SPO Mohammad Ashraf, stated that on 1 January 1996, he went towards Batote with Shadi Lal [driver], another PSO Somnath and SPO Mohammad Ashraf. On reaching Batote, SPO Mohammad Ashraf went to meet DIG Kuldeep Khoda. They then proceeded to Ramban. On 2 January 1996 they proceeded to Batote where a police vehicle carrying arms and ammunition from Ramban also reached Batote and was produced before Kuldeep Khoda, who inspected it. SPO Mohammad Ashraf once again met DIG Kuldeep Khoda and the vehicle carrying the arms and ammunition was then dispatched for Assar village. The group then proceeded to Doda, along with two persons unknown to the witness but known to SPO Mohammad Ashraf. On reaching Assar village, SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates went to the Police Post Assar where they were provided arms and ammunition. They then proceeded to Doda. On 3 January 1996, the group left Doda and reached Bhaderwah by the evening and then onwards to Parnu. On the way to Parnu SPO Mohammad Ashraf stopped the vehicle and brought two persons, one of whom was placed in the vehicle and the other was taken back. Subsequently, three more persons were brought and put in the vehicle. On reaching Pul Doda, SPO Mohammad Ashraf asked the driver to turn the vehicle towards Thatri. On reaching Thatri the vehicle was asked to be stopped by SPO Mohammad Ashraf where he along with his associates got down and took the civilians along with them. SPO Mohammad Ashraf asked the PSO's and driver to remain present in the vehicle. After half an hour the witness heard gunshots from the Chenab river. After one hour SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates returned. The civilians were no longer with them. The party then left for Kishtwar. On 4 January 1996 they went from Kishtwar to Batote. On reaching Batote, SPO Mohammad Ashraf met with Kuldeep Khoda. Following this meeting, the driver Shadi Lal also met with DIG
344 | Structures of Violence Kuldeep Khoda. Following this meeting, SPO Mohammad Ashraf once again met DIG Kuldeep Khoda. They then proceeded to Doda where SPO Mohammad Ashraf and his associates went to Police Post Assar where everyone except SPO Mohammad Ashraf deposited their arms. The above summary of evidence strongly points to the involvement of DIG Kuldeep Khoda in planning and executing the crime, notwithstanding some of the minor contradictions that do exist in the testimony. The evidence suggests a close proximity between Kuldeep Khoda and SPO Mohammad Ashraf. Further, DIG Kuldeep Khoda appears to be a key player at various points in the operation that resulted in the killing of the three persons – from meeting with SPO Mohammad Ashraf prior to the killings, inspecting arms, and meeting with SPO Mohammad Ashraf after the killings. What is atleast certain from the above evidence is that the role of DIG Kuldeep Khoda cannot be conclusively ruled out. Further, it is unlikely that he would not have known of the reasons and purpose behind the crime. The proceedings before the NHRC may also be considered. On 4 April 2000, the NHRC closed the matter on the basis that a chargesheet had been led. But, on 19 June 1997, the NHRC noted that the investigations in the case were not satisfactory, and that the then DGP agreed with the NHRC opinion. It was also noted that the DGP would ensure an impartial, effective and expeditious further investigation with the leave of the Court before which the matter was pending. The results of such investigations were to be placed before the Commission. This clearly is a reference to the alternate Crime Branch investigations that were carried out but it appears that the NHRC was never appraised of the Crime Branch investigations and in fact on 4 April 2000 the NHRC does not appear to have any knowledge of the fact that the trial had also been completed. Based on the available record it is clear that the DGP, Jammu and Kashmir despite admitting that the police investigations were not satisfactory still proceeded with their own investigations for trial without factoring in the Crime Branch investigations eventually resulting in the acquittal. Therefore, the Crime Branch investigations were suppressed before the Sessions Court, Bhaderwah, NHRC and the High Court. The crux of the case of the complainant before the SHRC was that the parallel Crime Branch investigation ordered into the case that implicated Kuldeep Khoda was never considered by the Trial Court, the NHRC or the High Court. The SHRC was the rst forum to have the opportunity to consider the Crime Branch investigations. The SHRC had a unique opportunity to critically study the Crime Branch investigations but instead chose to mechanically understand the import of these documents. Despite an order from the SHRC to provide the nal Crime Branch report, a so called “nal” report of 4 December 1999 was provided. This was not a nal or comprehensive report and did not provide cogent reasons to negate the earlier ndings implicating Kuldeep Khoda. More crucially, this report was written when the accused Kuldeep Khoda was the Inspector General, Crime Branch. Therefore, the SHRC chose to rely on a document whose contents were directly under the control of an accused. In light of the above, and considering the circumstances and time in which the trial was conducted, where it is likely that witnesses would feel great fear, the instant case should be re-investigated and if necessary, re-tried. Case No. 77 Victim Details Ghulam Hassan Lone [Abduction, Extra-judicial killing] Age: 38 Occupation: Teacher, Bandena Primary School [He was also an activist for the Jamaat-i-Islami] Son of: Abdul Sattar Lone Resident of: Braav Bandena, Pulwama district Alleged Perpetrators 1.

At around 10 to 10:30 am, some army personnel, all uniformed and fully armed, belonging to Haal-Gabarpora Camp, in Shopian, came in two vehicles, a TATA vehicle and a gypsy and cordoned the house of the victim, signaling to the victim with their hands to approach them. No Ikhwans accompanied them. The leading army person asked the victim his name, which the victim told him. At this point, the wife of the victim and his niece were behind the victim. The army personnel ordered the victim to get inside their vehicle but the victim resisted. He said he wanted to say goodbye to his family rst, but the army personnel did not allow him to do so and forced him into their vehicle. In the meantime, villagers gathered and stopped the vehicle.The army responded by ring in the air and went ahead with the victim in their vehicle. One of the friends of the victim, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, a teacher by profession, asked the army personnel where to look for the victim in case his relatives wanted to visit him, to which the army men responded that their party was from Haal-Gabarpora Camp.
