Mangalore, Apr 21: Condemning the alleged fake encounter of Kabeer on Saturday, president of Muslim Central Committee, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi K S Mohammed Masood alleged that Kabeer was deliberately shot at by the ANF personnel as he was shot directly in the chest from close quarters.
Speaking to a section of mediapersons here on Sunday, he said that the fake encounter of Kabeer had been planned beforehand as he was shot in the chest from a close range. The killing of the youth was a case of total police atrocity and manipulation by the police department, he said, demanding a CBI inquiry into the encounter.
He said that the slain youth was a regular bread-earner, whose job itself was to transport cattle. He was shot for no reason and this is completely illegal. There should be comprehensive probe in this regard, he said, adding that the committee would not be satisfied with a CoD investigation.
CM should intervene'
It is the police themselves who are involved in the killing, and this may affect the CoD probe. Even the attack on the family members of the victim occurred in the presence of police personnel. The police want to cover up their tracks and may divert further investigation. The chief minister himself should intervene in the case, and go for a CBI inquiry, he stressed, seeking justice for the victim's family.
Compensation of Rs 30 lakhs demanded
He said that such instances would continue to occur unless appropriate action was taken against the ones involved in the encounter. “Till rightful justice is ensured to the slain youth and his family along with proper compensation, we will continue our struggle,” he said, demanding that the family of the victim should be paid his full due of Rs 30 lakhs as compensation.
Speaking on the occasion, Ibrahim Kodichal condemned the killing of Kabeer and appealed to the people to maintain calm in the district without heeding to rumours. He said that the Home Minister had considered handing over the alleged fake encounter case for CID probe.
