CCIM rejects NHRC Batla House Encounter Report

To hold protest at Jantar Mantar today afternoon

New Delhi: In a statement issued yesterday Coordination Committee of Indian Muslims (CCIM) rejected the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) report on Batla House encounter.

“CCIM rejects the report of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Batla House Encounter giving clean chit to Delhi police as it has done injustice to the issue”, said the joint statement issued in the Press Conference held at Press Club of India, New Delhi Monday.

Coordination Committee of Indian Muslims (CCIM) is an umbrella organization of Muslim bodies comprising of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiat Ulema Hind, Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith, Indian Islahi Movement, All India Muslim Mushawerat (AIIMM), All India Muslim Personal Board (AIMPB), Muslim Political Council and other Muslim NGOs working for the Muslim cause in India.

Rejecting the NHRC report the CCIM statement said, “It is one-sided and NHRC has solely depended on police version of 19th September 2009 events, post mortem reports of slain inspector M. C. Sharma and Atif Ameen and Mohammed Sajid and forensic report and arrived to the conclusion that “there was no violation of human rights and the action of the police was fully protected by the law.”

Atif Ameen and Mohammad Sajid, two Azamgarh students were killed in police encounter by the New Delhi police on September 19, 2008. The 30-page report that NHRC prepared following the Delhi High Court order to probe shootout at House No. L-18 in Batla House area of New Delhi’s Jamia Nagar has given a clean chit to the Delhi Police for the encounter. Police Inspector MC Sharma was also killed when he sustained bullet injuries during the police operation.

“NHRC did not look at the other side, they didn’t meet the other occupants of L-18, neither they contacted the locals of Jamia Nagar and nor the relatives of the slain boys from Azamgarh.  Moreover, the commission didn’t visit the flat No 108 of L-18 to check the police version and came to the conclusion that police acted in self defence”, said the joint statement.

Stating that NHRC violated its own guidelines regarding magisterial enquiry and simply accepted the police version the statement said, “ This is surprising that NHRC also didn’t try to cross examine the sole eye witness Mr. Mohammed Saif who was arrested alive from flat no 108 of L-18.”

Terming the whole NHRC report as biased and one sided and stating that it didn’t do justice to this sensitive issue, the leaders in their statement demanded high level judicial inquiry in the Batla House encounter. To press for their demand, the CCIM leaders will be organizing a demonstration today afternoon  at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
