531 | Structures of Violence Koth Bhalwal Jail, the victim's detention order was quashed, but instead of releasing him he was then taken by Counter-Intelligence Kashmir [CIK] in Jammu, who got him transferred to Baramulla Jail and then from Baramulla he was shifted to Srinagar Central Jail.When his family brought a release order to Srinagar Central Jail, he was taken by CIK personnel to Humhama Camp. He was detained there for about a month. Following further transfers between detention centres, he was released after a period of in the last month of 2007. After his release, he started a service station. The victim, Manzoor Ahmed Bhat, gave the above statement to the IPTK on 9 January2015. The victim's statement is clear, and cogent evidence is presented of the torture by the alleged perpetrators. The allegations warrant further investigation. There is a slight discrepancy between his statement and that of Ashiq Hussain Narchoor with regard to when they were taken from the JIC to the Khanabal army camp for a single day. Ashiq Narchoor says it was 8-9 days after being detained whereas the victim here says it was 25 days later. Except for this discrepancy, the two statements corroborate one another. Case No. 38 Victim Details Sheikh Aijaz Ahmad [Torture] Age: 29 Occupation: Painter Son of: Abdul Rahim Sheikh Resident of: New Colony, AlyalPora, Shopian district Alleged Perpetrators 1. Major Ravi, 44 Rashtriya Ries [RR], Veterinary Camp stationed near Shopian Police Station Case Information On 8 July 2005, the Hurriyat [G] chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani was visiting the Jamia Masjid at Shopian. He addressed a huge gathering there. The victim also attended the gathering. Early morning the next day, army personnel came to his house led by Major Ravi. They dragged him out of the house and wrapped his Pheran [traditional dress of Kashmir] on his head; he was blindfolded and couldn't see anything. After some time, they reached the camp where he was thrown inside a dark room. After half an hour, Major Ravi came and started beating him with a wooden rod and told him to take off his clothes; but the victim refused. So the Major then called a few personnel, who forcibly stripped him. He ordered his guards to bring some pepper powder. And his private parts were lled with pepper powder. After some time, he was blind folded and they beat him with a sharp wire. Then, he was asked to translate the speech that Geelani had delivered. While watching its video [victim did not know where the video came from], he did the same. They scared him, abused him and beat him after he had translated the speech. They showed him blood spots and said that they belonged to Shakoor Deva, who was killed by the same camp during torture. The victim was continuously tortured for ve days. It was known around town that the Major's name was Ravi. Secondly, he himself said that his name was Ravi. He gave his phone number to the victim and told him that he could call him whenever he wanted and that he could work with him. In August 2005, he raided the victim's sister'shouse, took photographs of his niece and asked them to make the victim call him. But the victim does not know which unit he was from except that he was from the veterinary army camp near police station Shopian. He has also been victimized by the ling of a false First Information Report [FIR] against him and he was detained for seven days. After seven days, he was bailed and released. The victim, Sheikh Aijaz Ahmad, gave the above statement to the IPTK on 6 August 2014. The details of the torture, and the identication of the alleged perpetrator [the details of the unit and the camp are presumably the same as in the Shakoor Ahmad Deva case] are clear and specic enough to warrant further investigations. Case No. 39 Victim Details [Name and identifying information withheld on the request of the witness] [Torture] Occupation: Contractor Son of: ________ Resident of: _______, Bijbehara, Islamabad district Alleged Perpetrators 1. Sheikh Tahir alias Tahir Fuf, Government Gunman [Ikhwan] 2. Kaka Battaa, Special Operations Group [SOG], Jammu and Kashmir Police Case Information In September 2005, personnel of the 3 Rashtriya Ries [RR] of Khanabal camp cordoned the area at about 5:30 am. Sheikh Tahir Fuf, an Ikhwan, informed the army that there were militants in the victim's
532 | Structures of Violence house. The army rst sent local residents of the locality inside the house to tell them to get out and assemble in the compound. After they left, the army along with Tahir entered the house and searched all the rooms. Tahir asked the wife of the victim about the militants. She replied that there were no militants in the house. They broke the windows and doors of the house and threw the bedding outside in the compound. Tahir also cut the landline connection and electricity of the house. Then the army picked up the victim and took him to the Joint Interrogation Centre [JIC] at Khanabal. On the same night, the army again came to their house and asked about the victim's son. The son was working as a guard in a park, and on that night he was on his night duty. The army somehow came to know about this and they picked him up from the park and took him to the JIC at Khanabal too. An ofcer in the camp, called Kaka Battaa, tortured both of them. They were hung upside down and were beaten. They were made to stay at the JIC for 4 days. The son was released after a few days and his father was shifted to Mattan police station for 15 days. After that, he was shifted to central jail Srinagar. From the Central Jail, the victim was brought to Islamabad court and booked under the Public Safety Act [PSA]. Then the victim was shifted to Kot Bhalwal and kept there for one year. After that, the victim was released. The victim gave the above statement to IPTK on 7May 2015. The victim's statement is clear, and cogent evidence is presented of the torture by the alleged perpetrators. The allegations warrant further investigation. Case No. 40 Victim Details Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai [Abduction, Wrongful Connement and Torture] Age: 32 [25 at the time of the incident] Occupation: Transport business Son of: Muhammad Maqbool Ganai [deceased] Resident of: Sadrakote, Balla, Sumbal, Bandipora District Alleged Perpetrators 1. Farooq Ahmad Padder, Station House Ofcer [SHO], Jammu and Kashmir Police 2. Personnel of the Special Operations Group [SOG], Jammu and Kashmir Police, Safapora Camp Case Information On 14 October 2005, at night, personnel of the SOG raided the house of Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai. SHO Farooq Ahmad Padder was present. The SOG personnel were drunk. Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai was taken to the Manasbal Army Camp on the charge of having assisted militants. He was tortured by SHO Farooq Ahmad Padder and an army person. Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai was electrocuted and parts of his body were burnt. Following the night of torture, Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai admitted to assisting militants and stated that he had a gun. Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai confessed hoping to be allowed to meet with his family. The Commanding Ofcer than released Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai, who had thus far been hung upside down, and facilitated his release. In addition to the torture, the SOG personnel stole Rs.1040 from Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai. Following his release, Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai was hospitalized for three and a half months and spent around Rs. 2,00,000. The family of Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai gave a statement to the IPTK on 9 February 2012. A First Information Report [FIR] was led at the Sumbal Police Station on 15 October 2005. Mukhtar Ahmad Ganai received no relief or compensation. Further, no information exists on the investigations and prosecution, if conducted, against the alleged perpetrators. Case No. 41 Victim Details Identity not ascertained [Crime not ascertained] Alleged Perpetrators 1. Gunner [Gnr] Bali Ram, Army 2. Gunner [Gnr] Ganishyam, Army Case Information As per information from the Ministry of Defence, in response to information sought through the Jammu and Kashmir Right to Information Act, 2009 [RTI] on sanctions for prosecution under the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 [AFSPA], stated on 10 January 2012 that on 30 May 2006 there was a death due to negligence. First Information [FIR] no. 139/2006 was led. The case was under examination. No information exists on the status of investigations or prosecutions in this case by the Jammu and Kashmir Police. But, it is noteworthy that despite the passage of six years since the commission of the crime, the Ministry of Defence has yet to take a decision on the grant of sanction for prosecution under AFSPA which helps the perpetrators in evading justice. Further, the available documents do not suggest that even a Court- Martial was conducted in this case by the army.
