Batla House encounter: Father of a slain terrorist moves HC

Father of a suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorist, who was killed in Batla House encounter here, approached the Delhi HC seeking its direction to initiate criminal proceeding against police officials involved in the shootout.

New Delhi: Father of a suspected Indian
Mujahideen terrorist, who was killed in Batla House encounter
here, today approached the Delhi High Court seeking its
direction to initiate criminal proceeding against police
officials involved in the shootout.

Ansarul Hassan, a resident of Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh,
has written a letter to Chief Justice of the High Court, A P
Shah, pleading that an FIR should be filed against the police
personnel claiming his son Mohd Sajid was innocent.

In a three-page letter addressed to the Chief Justice,
Hassan said he had to approach the court as the police refused
to file an FIR in the case and the NHRC also refused to take
action on his plea.

The Court is likely to take into consideration the
letter and would take cognisance tomorrow.

Atif Amin and Mohd Sajid, the two suspected Indian
Mujahideen terrorists allegedly involved in the September
serial blasts in the capital, were killed on September 19,
2008 and two other IM suspects Mohd Saif and Zeeshan were
arrested from the Batla House area.

The incident took place a week after serial blasts had
rocked the capital killing 26 people and injuring 13 others.
