Human rights activists visiting the Jamia Nagar

New Delhi: There is something more than that meets the eye in the Jamia Nagar police encounter case and that’s why civil rights groups and human rights organizations are visiting the area and tying to get the true picture by talking to neighbours and eyewitnesses.
Of all what is most disturbing is that those described as terrorists by the police have valid rent agreement and submitted a form with the Jamia Nagar Police Station for the verification of their credentials.
According to the rent agreement and police verification form (a copy of the documents are with TwoCircles.net), Atif Ameen, who was killed in the encounter, had got the flat on rent in his name. The rent agreement was signed on August 25, 2008. The police verification form says there were six people living in the flat. They are Atif, Zeeshan Ahmad, Md. Saif, Md Sajid (24 years), Md Khalid and Md Sajid (20 years).
People say if they were terrorists, why would they seek their verification?
Human rights activists visiting the Jamia Nagar
Finding some loopholes in the police version of the encounter on Friday (September 19), some human rights groups have visited the area and talked to locals and neighbours to get the whole picture.
Today around one dozen senior civil activists from various human rights organizations visited the area and also the building L-18 in Batala House, near Khalilullah Masjid in Jamia Nagar area.
The police did not allow the team to go into the building.
They talked to 12-15 people and remained there for around 2 hours. Several questions and doubts came up during the talks. The most doubtful is the escape theory of the police. The team made a round of the building and found it impossible for one to escape when there are policemen at the gate, the only exit of the building.
