New Delhi, Feb 14: A Delhi court has allowed police
to make copies of computer floppies and cassettes seized from
the office of the Hurriyat Conference here last week.
Designated Judge S N Dhingra ordered that the seized
material, including 27 floppies, 23 audio cassettes, 27 video
cassettes and 26 mp8 cassettes, which were contained in sealed
envelopes, be opened in court and copies made thereof.
The special cell of Delhi police had sought the court's
permission to "deseal" the envelopes so as to make transcrips
for purpose of investigation.
Following a plea that it would be time-consuming to make
CD's of the said cassettes in court, the court directed one of
its officials to accompany the investigating officer to the
workshop where the copies would be made and to bring back the
materials.
Delhi police had raided the office of Hurriyat run under
the name of Kashmir awareness bureau last week and made the
seizure. The raid followed the arrest of amalgam's Delhi-based
spokesman Shabir Ahmed Dar and the recovery of Rs two lakh
from him.
The Delhi Police, on a tip-off from the intelligence
agencies had arrested a woman Hurriyat activist Anjum Zamrooda
Begum for receiving Rs 3.07 allegedly from expelled Pakistan
Charge d'Affaires Jaleel Abbas Jilanai for funding separatist
movement in Jammu and Kashmir.
Habib had revealed during interrogation that Dar also
used to receive money from Pakistan High Commission.
The expelled diplomat has also been named in the fir
registered in this connection.
