Justice in Machil fake encounter.

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

http://pakobserver.net/justice-machil-fake-encounter/

INDIAN Army is notorious for orchestrating fake encounters and blaming Pakistan for conducting the bogus attack. Recently, for the first time, after a Court Martial looking into the false flag operation conducted at Machil on April 29, 2010, Colonel Dinesh Pathania, Captain Opendra, Havildar Devender Kumar, Lance Naik Arun Kumar, Lance Naik Lakhmi, and Rifleman Abbas Hussain of Indian Army have been served with life sentence for planning and executing the fake encounter.
It has been brought to light that three Kashmiri civilians—Shahzad Khan (27), Shafi Lone (19) and Riyaz Lone (20) of Nadihal village in Rafiabad—were lured to an army camp at Kalaroos in Kupwara with the promise of employing them as porters on high wages, where they were subsequently killed in a staged encounter during the intervening night of 29 and 30 April 2010 at Sona Pindi in Machil sector on the Line of Control. The army had dubbed them as foreign militants who were killed in an encounter while trying to infiltrate the Line of Control. Their bodies were buriedin a local graveyard near the LoC. To prove that these three young men were foreign militants, the army man painted the face of Shafi Lone—the youngest among the three—with black colour to show he had beard and then taken the picture of his face for records.
The fake encounter was exposed by Jammu and Kashmir police investigation after the families of the victims filed a missing report. Subsequently, when the bodies of these youth were exhumed from Machil graveyard where they had been buried as unidentified Pakistani terrorists, the families identified them as the three missing men from Nadihal village in Rafiabad. This fake encounter triggered massive protests across Kashmir. The government constituted a high-level inquiry commission while army too ordered a high level probe.
Bashir Ahmad Lone was a counter Insurgent and along with his policeman brother Qayoom Lone, who ruled the village through fear ever since armed struggle started waning in the valley. It was Bashir Lone who laid a death trap for Shahzad Khan, Shafi Lone and Riyaz Lone, selling them For Rs 50 thousand each to the Army. The counter insurgent Bashir Lone was assigned the job to find three men for the fake encounter by his friends—a Territorial Army jawan Abbas Hussain Shah and an army source Hameed—
who later accompanied Bashir Lone in to Kalaroos where they handed over these three men to Captain Upendera (who was functioning as Major) of 4 Rajputana Rifles of the army. They were paid Rs 1.5 lakh, two bottles of whisky and two beer bottles by the Major for their services. Shahzad and the other two men were killed in a staged encounter later at Sona Pindi on the Line of Control. The interrogation of the four persons especially the two main kingpins Territorial Army jawan Abbas Hussein Shah and army source Hameed revealed that the officers of the 4 Rajputana battalion of the army were in a hurry to stage a fake encounter on the Line of Control to secure a unit citation and cash award days before they had to shift out of the valley. The fake encounter took place.
Abbas Hussain Shah was in constant touch with “Major Upendera” ever since he took over as G-2 at 19 Div Headquarters at Baramulla. Shah said that his job was to roam around the Baramulla town and adjoining villages to sniff for any useful Information. In April, Major Upendera asked Abbas to arrange few young men and told him that they were planning to launch the recruits across the LOC into Pakistan to bring weapons and track a group of militants. Hameed and Abbas brought the unfortunate trio of Kashmiris to General Cariappa Park in Baramulla town and were informed that they would receive Rs 2,000 a day for work with the army at the LoC. The trip to Kalaroos was scheduled for 27 April. Hameed and the three young men traveled to the 4 Rajputana Rifles camp in Kalaroos. Major Upendera asked them to go back home and return on 29 April 2010 as the weather was not good. Next morning, Abbas and Hameed received their reward from Major Upendera. Hameed and Abbas were separated during the night by the Major who took the TA jawan Abbas along with him. The army took the three men – Shahzad Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Shafi Lone and Riyaz Ahmad Lone – to Sona Pindi on the Line of Control and shot them dead in a staged encounter and later dubbed them as unidentified infiltrating militants. The army had also claimed to have recovered five AK rifles. A large cache of ammunition and Pakistani currency from their possession.
The police say that the unit had received Rs 6 lakh as award for this operation. Although this staged encounter was not the first such fake encounter in Kashmir where army, paramilitary or police men killed civilians and dubbed them as foreign militants, Machil fake encounter probe exposed a complex narrative of counter-insurgency where greed and proclivity for brass medals became a common cause between a group of army officer and their local collaborators. Indian Army and government must be lauded for the judicial action in punishing the perpetrators of the false flag operation and murderers of three innocent Kashmiris but the India Army personnel deserved the death penalty for their heinous crime.

It is wonderful that an eager young Pakistani should take this example of the Indian justice system working, and military officers and personnel being punished, as a source of negative information. This ignores his own countryman's conclusions (in red, above).

Unlike other countries, we don't do cover-ups. That is the lesson that our eager young Pakistani should take on board.

If I am not,5 Army officers where sentenced to life by the military court on the issue in 2014. While I feel bad for what has happened, I am happy and proud that they were punished.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

Yeah, Gujarat riot bombay riot, destruction of baburi.. we all saw justice, the one who was banned from entering west is your PM.

every killing which says bharati kill Kashmiri freedom fighters without being hurt is fake encounter.

None of our PM is atleast not banned to enter his own country.

 

[Mughal-Prince]

Every other encounter is a fake encounter and from hundreds of them bunia settled only one and here comes the people thumping their chests for lessons.
Buniay ka baita kuch daikh ker hi girta hai.

 

[acetophenol]

Listen man, our PM is not blamed by the judiciary of our nation and as long as its so, he is innocent. You need not worry over that. I am not saying this because I'm a Modi fan, I have and will oppose him in public, but thats on his policies....several others have too, because we can in our country. And justice will prevail in India.

 

[Joe Shearer]

Yeah, Gujarat riot bombay riot, destruction of baburi.. we all saw justice, the one who was banned from entering west is your PM.

Good that you mentioned these. A little homework would have borne out my original contention, that it is a credit to the Indian system that convictions were obtained. Such convictions were handed out in the other cases that you have mentioned.

Here I am taking the case of only the Gujarat riots.

The Gujarat riots were tried extensively, and punishments handed out. It was never proven to the satisfaction of the judiciary, in this case, the Supreme Court, which even appointed a neutral fact finding police team, that there was a legal case against Modi. Please read (this is a weak source, but good enough for a reminder):

1. In 2012, Modi was cleared of complicity in the violence by Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court of India. The SIT also rejected claims that the state government had not done enough to prevent the riots. The Muslim community was reported to have reacted with anger and disbelief. In July 2013 allegations were made that the SIT had suppressed evidence. In April 2014, the Supreme Court expressed satisfaction over the SIT's investigations in nine cases related to the violence, and rejected as "baseless" a plea contesting the SIT report.
2. The Best Bakery Murder Trial received wide attention after witnesses retracted testimony in court and all of the accused were acquitted. The Indian Supreme Court, acting on a petition by social activist Teesta Setalvad, ordered a retrial outside Gujarat in which . A key witness, Zaheera Sheikh, who repeatedly changed her testimony during the trials and the petition was found guilty of perjury.
3. After police dismissed the case against her assailants, Bilkis Bano approached the National Human Rights and petitioned the Supreme Court seeking a reinvestigation. The Supreme Court granted the motion, directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation. CBI appointed a team of experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) Delhi and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) under the guidance and leadership of Professor T. D. Dogra of AIIMS to exhume the mass graves to established the identity and cause of death of victims. The team successfully located and exhumed the remains of victims. The trial of the case was transferred out of Gujarat and the central government was directed to appoint a public prosecutor. Charges were filed in a Mumbai court against nineteen people as well as six police officials and a government doctor over their role in the initial investigations. In January 2008, eleven men were sentenced to life imprisonment for rapes and murders and a policeman was convicted of falsifying evidence. The Bombay High Court upheld the life imprisonment of eleven men convicted for the gang rape of Bilkis Bano and murder of her family members during the 2002 Gujarat riots on 8 May 2017. The court also set aside the acquittal of the remaining seven accused in the case, including Gujarat police officers and doctors of a government hospital, who were charged with suppressing and tampering with evidence.
4. Danilimda case Nine people were convicted of killing a Hindu man and injuring another during group clashes in Danilimda, Ahmedabad on 12 April 2005, while twenty-five others were acquitted.
5. Eral case Eight people, including a VHP leader and a member of the BJP, were convicted for the murder of seven members of a family and the rape of two minor girls in the village of Eral in Panchmahal district.
6. Dipda Darwaza case
   On 9 November 2011, a court in Ahmedabad sentenced thirty-one Hindus to life imprisonment for murdering dozens of Muslims by burning a building in which they took shelter. Forty-one other Hindus were acquitted of murder charges due to a lack of evidence. Twenty-two further people were convicted for attempted murder on 30 July 2012, while sixty-one others were acquitted.
7. On 29 July 2012, an Indian court convicted thirty people in the Naroda Patiya massacre case for their involvement in the attacks. The convicted included former state minister Maya Kodnani and Hindu leader Babu Bajrangi. The court case began in 2009, and over three hundred people (including victims, witnesses, doctors, and journalists) testified before the court.
8. As of April 2013 249 convictions had been secured of 184 Hindus and 65 Muslims. Thirty-one of the Muslim convictions were for the massacre of Hindus in Godhra.

....every killing which says bharati kill Kashmiri freedom fighters without being hurt is fake encounter

.

Nobody stops you from believing what you want to believe.

 

[ito]

This shows the impartiality of Indian Army. Indian army punished some of its own members for the fake encounter. This is a signal that fake encounters won't be tolerated in Kashmir

 

[Max]

None of our PM is atleast not banned to enter his own country.

Yeah, but RSS was banned in your country twice or thrice.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

Yeah, but RSS was banned in your country twice or thrice.

You guys amuse me always. First you stated PM of India in the response where it was not required as the topic is not about him, when countered you moved your goal post to RSS which is not linked to any government machinery. RSS was banned in the earlier years of Indian independence due to political Vedanta of congress. There was otherwise no substantial proof to support its ban. Anyways.. What about JuD, LET? When are you handing over their masters to India as per UN convention of them being terrorist organization?

not for killing of Gandhi and conspiring against secularism?

What about JuD, LET?

I dont care about these minions in the art of terrorism who are probably behind death of fewer people in their whole existence then you lost in train accidents each year, how about you tell us when are you going to admit that you are state who sponsored terrorism in east Pakistan (Bengali militants), Sri Lanka (TT) and Afghanistan (northern warlords) of whom each of them are killers of lacs of people.

More Indians die cleaning sewers than fighting terrorists in Kashmir

https://qz.com/1074911/more-indians-die-cleaning-sewers-than-fighting-terrorists-in-kashmir/

terrorism is not your issue, its just for point scoring against Pakistan.

 

[Chhatrapati]

terrorism is not your issue, its just for point scoring against Pakistan.

Terrorism is an external threat. We can't do anything about it unless you act up on the fringe elements.
All these minions are a threat to national integrity and security.

Internal issues can be solved through proper government measures.

Also, every person is important. There are more people who dies of cancer than terrorism, so we should take care of only cancer prevention or palliative care?

Also, what if Osama bin Laden said to US, "First solve your homeless problem, then you can take care of us". That's a stupid argument to make.

 

[Imran Khan]

fake encounters create more fighters a very simple logic you kill someone his relatives took arms against you

No they are no where near close to being national security threat, read, you lose more people is gutters then Kashmir, i know cancer/poverty are serious problem, thats why i didnt mentioned it, anyways if you stop killing people in fake encounter, stop using pallet guns against protesters, violence will decrease further, you are making this big issue just bcoz you want to run from any meaningful dialogue on Kashmir. LeT, LeJ are nothing but boogeyman's, which serves interests of ganga rather then Pakistan.
