NIA drops terror charges against Liaqat; questions Delhi Police action

January 28, 2015 09:23

Almost two years after being accused as a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist conspiring to bomb Delhi, Liaqat Shah has been released by the National Investigation Agency.

The investigative agency has not only recommended closure of the terror cases against Shah but has also given a damning indictment of Special Cell, the agency which arrested him.

Shah was arrested from the Sinauli border near Gorakhpur after being accused of trying to carry out terror strikes in national capital, a charge Liaqat refuted.

The chargesheet filed by NIA in the court supports Liaqat's claim that he was crossing over from Pakistan to Kashmir via Nepal as per government of India's rehabilitation policy for those who had crossed over to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and picked up arms against India but now wanted to come back lead a reformed life.
