| JAMMU, Apr 25: Presiding Officer TADA Court issued non-bailable warrants against accused allegedly involved in kidnapping of Dr Rubiya Sayeed, daughter of then Union Home Minister and former Chief Minister of the State and killing of five Air Force personnel. The non-bailable warrants have been issued to secure their presence in the court on next date of hearing. Besides Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) supremo Yaseen Malik, the other accused in the case are Javid Mir, Showkat Bakshi, Ali Mohd Mir, Manzoor Ahmed Sofi, Mehraj-ud-Din, Wajahat Bashir, Zaman Mir, Iqbal Gandroo and Yaqoob Pandit. The accused in killing of five Air-Force personnel against whom TADA Court also issued non-bailable warrants are Mohd Yaseen Malik, Javid Mir alias Nalka, Showkat Bakshi, Javid Zargar and Manzoor Sofi. In both the cases, Rafiq alias Nanaji was presented in custody from Udhampur jail. In the meanwhile, Advocate Yogesh Bakshi appearing for the accused persons has filed an application before the Court for recalling the warrants which were issued by the court against his clients. However, TADA Court issued notice to SSP CBI to file objections in this regard. Dr Rubiya Sayeed was kidnapped for the release of five hardcore militants of JKLF. Then Central Government with the consent of J&K Government released five hardcore militants and thereafter kidnappers released the daughter of Mufti Mohd Sayeed. The Air-Force personnel were killed in January 1990 when they were waiting for their Air-Force bus at Batmaloo, Srinagar. Both the cases were transferred to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which after completion of investigations presented challan in the court of law. |
