More than five years since investigations started, the probe agencies — CBI, NIA and State police — are still clueless about those named by Aseemanand. All these co-accused are still absconding. The chargesheets in these cases have been filed on the basis of Aseemanand’s confessional statement, which he has subsequently denied.

The NIA needs to gather concrete material evidence to substantiate the alleged conspiracy and corroborate his statements. Sources said the chargesheets were filed mainly to prevent Aseemanand getting bail.

Sources said the NIA, which has been struggling to collect evidence in the 2006 Malegaon blast case, is likely to quiz some of the Maharashtra ATS officials who had probed the case. In the light of a confession by Swami Aseemanand before a magistrate, the nine youths arrested by the Anti-Terror Squad in 2006 were released on bail recently by the court as the NIA did not oppose the same due to lack of evidence against them.

The NIA now plans to examine the role of officials of Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad, which had chargesheeted the nine youths in the case, and re-visit their investigations into the case, official sources said. The key

conspirator and the alleged conspiracy may be there but the co-conspirators of these cases are still at large and the confessional statement under Section 164 of the CrPC does not hold any value unless corroborated with material evidence, an investigator said.

The official says that Aseemanand’s confessional statements do not hold evidentiary value as he has subsequently denied them and claimed that the same were extracted under duress.  Notwithstanding the chargesheets filed in the cases, the investigation continues to be open till evidences to corroborate the allegations are gathered.

So far, the NIA has gathered materials to prove that similar explosives were used in these blasts and were packed into pipes procured from a shop in Indore. The probe agencies are also basing their cases on procurement of 21 SIM cards from Faridabad by the accused. The SIM cards have a common series of mobile numbers.

Concern has already been expressed at the highest levels in the security and intelligence establishment over the failure of the agencies in cracking the blasts cases. NIA officials admitted that tracing the is a challenge as they hold key to corroboration of the allegations made and materials gathered.

Agency officials blamed the failure in gathering evidence inter-State rivalries in cases where the links stretched to more than one State and loss of crucial time before the federal agency took up the cases for investigation.

The NIA is still investigating the Modasa mosque blast even as the case was registered by the June 29, 2010. The allegations include bomb explosions by terrorists at a mosque in the Gujarat town in Sabarkantha district at 9.25 PM on September 29, 2008. The Gujarat Police had registered the case on September 30, 2008. The case was registered under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (grievous injury) of the Indian Penal Code and under relevant sections of Explosives Substances Act and Bombay Police Act. The agency is yet to file a charge sheet.

The Samjhauta Express train blasts case that occurred on February 19, 2007 is being investigated by NIA vide its case number 09/10 and a chargesheet has been filed against accused. But little headway has been made as key accused Amit, alias Ashok, alias Prince, alias Sunny, alias Ashwini, alias Ashwini Chauhan, is yet to be arrested. The charges  include seditious activity by causing explosions in Samjhauta Express train at Panipat in Haryana. The case was initially registered by GRP, Karnal on February 19, 2007 and the NIA later took it up on July 29, 2010.

The chargesheet has been filed against five accused persons under Sections 120-B, 302, 307, 324, 326 of the IPC and under relevant Sections of the Explosive Substances Act and Prevention of Damage of Public Property Act and under certain provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.

But the NIA is further probing the matter as per the provisions of the Section 173 (8) of the CrPC with a view to file a supplementary chargesheet detailing corroborative evidence. However, the accused persons are still at large and the only material is Aseemanand’s statement recorded before a magistrate and commonality of modus operandi, use of explosives and SIM cards of a certain series of mobile phone numbers in the so-called Hindu terror cases.

In the Mecca Masjid blasts case, a chargesheet was filed by the CBI, and the NIA later on filed a supplementary charge sheet but without much evidence on record. Likewise, the NIA is yet to trace the accused or gather any substantive material in the Malegaon I and II blasts case besides the Ajmer blasts case. Chargesheets have been filed but the cases are yet to move further for want of corroborative evidence.

Key absconders include Ram Chandra Kalsangra, Sandeep Dange, Suresh Nair, Bhavesh Patel, Amit, Mehul and Jauyanti Bhai Gohil. NIA has named Naba Kumar Sarkar alias Swami Aseemanand, Sunil Joshi (now dead), Sandeep Dange, Ramchandra Kalsangra, Suresh Nair, Bhavesh, Mehul as the key accused in Samjhauta, Ajmer, Malegaon and Mecca Masjid blasts cases in which it has filed chargesheets.

With Justice AK Ganguly  of the 2G scam bench retiring on February 2, the bench comprising Justice GS Singhvi, is expected to pronounce four crucial judgements, any day before Thursday.

The Special Court on 2G Scam headed by Special Judge OP Saini has already set Saturday — February 4 — for judgement on whether to summon Chidambaram in the spectrum scam. Apart from the spectrum cases, on February 3,   Army chief General VK Singh will start his legal battle against the Central Government in the apex court.

According to legal experts, the bench headed by Justice Singhvi and Justice Ganguly may deliver four judgements between Tuesday and Thursday. Judgments are reserved in all the four cases filed by Janata party president Subramanian Swamy and noted lawyer Prashant Bhushan. If the judges did not come before Justice Ganguly retire, the entire hearing process would have to re-start.

For the UPA Government, among the four cases, the most crucial one is on Swamy’s petition to probe Chidambaram’s role by CBI in the spectrum scam. This case shook the Government when Swamy placed before court Financial Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s note indicting Chidambaram. The judgement was reserved in October last year.

Judgement on Bhushan’s demand for creating Special Investigation Team (SIT) to help the Supreme Court in monitoring the CBI probe was  also reserved in October last year. The petition cited several “dilly-dallying” by CBI and “political interventions” to save top corporate icons in the probe.

The all-important judgement the corporate world is watching relates to petition by  Swamy and Bhushans to cancel the entire telecom licences granted by jailed former Telecom Minister A Raja. These licences were declared illegal by CAG.

Apart from cancellation, the petitioners demanded for court monitored auction of these licences to retrieve the lost money to the exchequer.

The fourth pending judgement is on Swamy’s first case against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for not granting sanction for prosecuting Raja for the past two years. The case which was supposed to be infructuous after Raja’s resignation, unexpectedly hit the Central Government when the judges raised objections on the inordinate delay from Manmohan Singh’s office.

The court sent notice to PMO, but the Prime Minister got reprieve, when Swamy made a u-turn by filing an affidavit favouring Manmohan Singh, and putting blame on PMO officials and Law Ministry. While reserving judgement on January, last year, the apex court said that they would form future guidelines for applications on sanction for prosecution.

“There are people infiltrated into the system and also in the government who are loyal to the Sangh Paivar. They work against Muslims and deny them their rights as given in the constitution”, media reports quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying while speaking to editors of the Urdu dailies on Friday in New Delhi.

Congress General Secretary who is said to be tirelessly working to improve Congress performance in the Uttar Pradesh elections scheduled in the month of February said, “It is a pity that such officers with communal mindset deny that innocent Muslims are lodged in jail. They also don’t consider the Muslim youths who were charged in the 2006 Malegaon blast case and later released on bail as innocent.” 

“The communal forces play politics of fear and use the officers loyal to them to harass and exploit the Muslims”, he said.

Declining to answer a direct question on Batla House encounter, the young Congress leader said, “The party is divided on the issue. But I am more concerned with the realities that actually result in such incidents.”

Rahul Gandhi also said that Sangh was panicked after the involvement in terror attacks of people affiliated to it was exposed. “It is to distract the attention from this that they used Anna Hazare and his campaign against corruption”, the Urdu dailies quoted Rahu Gandhi as saying.

On EVMs, I have enough masala in the HC order, to go and get further clarification and order from SC.

The important point is that even Rushdie who eloquently states that in a democracy both sides should have a right to express their opinion went along with Burka and condemned the Hindus by glossing over the fact that the Hindus were expressing their disgust in a very legitimate and lawful manner.  If he had admitted that then he would have become my darling.

The guy also said that those who oppose him were not true Muslims.  What!  How can he forget that the Islamic hoards had destroyed thousands of our temples and desecrated the idols proof of which is available all over India?  True selfish Muslim!  Very disgusting to see his schioprenia!

But then we should also realize that Burka Dutt and the NDTV do play to the minorities while trying to be secular and democratic. (sic!)

This interview is important for the fact that the Congressmen invented the threat against him for vote bank politics!

Chandigarh: Punjab’s ruling Shiromani Akali Dal on Wednesday accused the Election Commission of acting on “direct commands” of Congress to “vilify” SAD and its leaders through a raid conducted at the house of an Akali Dal candidate, a confidante of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, in Muktsar district.

A SAD press release in Chandigarh this evening said the raid conducted jointly by the IT department and the Election Commission officials yielded nothing and “has exposed the conspiracy under which the Commission and Congress are trying desperately to influence the poll process”.

“The Chief Electoral Officer is implementing the manifesto of Congress which has always opposed Badal’s welfare policies for Dalits, the poor and farmers,” said the release.

“We are fighting an election not only against Congress but also against the brazenly biased Election Commission. It is like playing a match in which you are fighting not only against your rivals but also the referee”, the party said.

“But we will register a thumping win in the elections and Congress and the EC will have eggs on their faces”, it added.

The SAD asked the Chief Electoral Commissioner to clarify whether it still thought its officials were not functioning under orders of Congress leaders and whether or not such an action brought disrepute to an august body like the EC.

The party also alleged the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) to ban the supply of ‘atta daal’ to poor families under the ongoing government scheme was taken at the behest of Congress.
