As the federal investigator NIA has taken the custody of DySP Davinder Singh and his friends on a fortnight long remand, the questioned are being asked from diverse quarters. Not many details are available in Jammu and Kashmir. Even the officials are seen hissing about the embarrassing development.
“Singh’s case is all the more embarrassing because he was deputed at a very sensitive antihijacking unit at Srinagar airport. Although his own record may have been doubtful, Afzal Guru, who was hanged in the case of the attack on the Parliament, had made serious allegations against him,” Shashi Shekhar, the editor in chief of The Hindustan Times wrote, insisting “Singh is just a small cog in the wheel.” He asked: “What was the intelligence machinery doing? Are there other people too who are corrupting our systems? This question will be forgotten until the next such incident takes place.”
Srinagar lives in an uneasy calm. People hardly talked about Singh. Perhaps, they are unaware of things. The revelations, however, are coming from Delhi.
To the utter shock, Ahmad Ali Fayaz wrote in The Quint that the deserted cop Naveed Babu, who had emerged the No 2 in Hizbul Mujahideen had comfortably stayed in Jammu from December to February in 2018-19 with the help of same DSP.
