Lucknow, March 26: Former Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh, Mr. SR Darapuri while terming the arrest of Syed Liaqat Shah as fake has demanded the Uttar Pradesh government to lodge FIR against the Special Cell of Delhi Police. He also demanded suspension of the police officers involved in the arrest.
Former militant Shah, after completing all formalities and verification by J&K police, was returning from PoK via Nepal last week. He was with his family members including wife, an infant son and a young deaf and dumb daughter. He was apprehended at the Sanauli checkpost at India Nepal border, brought to Gorakhpur and arrested on 18th March. Two days later he was presented before the media in Delhi as a conspirator for an alleged terror attack plot in Delhi.
As General Secretary of Rihai Manch former DGP, SR Darapuri today said: The arrest of Liaqat Shah is fake because Delhi Police did not inform the local police about his arrest at Sunauli. As per laws of arrest, Delhi Police should have taken the local police along and his arrest should have been registered at the local police station, then Shah should have been presented in the local court for transit remand. However, the Delhi Police did not follow any of these legal requirements. That’s why the arrest of Liaqat Shah by Delhi Police is illegal. Therefore, the Samajwadi Party government of Uttar Pradesh should immediately file a case of abduction against the officers of Delhi Police.”
Mr. Darapuri also alleged the Delhi Police for planting arms and ammunition in the Haji Arafat guest house near Jama Masjid and then making a raid at the guest house to recover the explosives.
After the raid, the Delhi Police had claimed that these weapons were meant for Liaqat Shah to carry out terror strike in Delhi on the eve of Holi.
