Even as the Supreme Court-appointed SIT has submitted its closure report in connection with the Zakia Jafri petition, former IPS officer RB Sreekumar has told the SIT in a letter that he had foreseen way back in June 2009 that the agency was going Modi way. In the letter, the former DG has mentioned how he had suggested mid-course correction to the SIT but nothing had happened.
In the letter to SIT chairman RK Raghavan, Sreekumar has said that many riot victims had met him to express shock and frustration over SIT's closure report, exonerating chief minister Narendra Modi and 62 others from culpability for 2002 anti-minority genocide. In September 2011, the Apex Court had directed the SIT to submit the final report on investigation into Zakia's complaint, to the local court.
"In my view, the SIT's act of exonerating chief minister Narendra Modi and his collaborators in the anti-minority carnage will be celebrated by all enemies of our motherland, particularly Hindu and Muslim extremists," Sreekumar says in his letter.
Earlier, Sreekumar had met Raghavan and SIT member Satpathy in their office in Gandhinagar and submitted to them statements and relevant information on major carnage cases being investigated by the agency. He had also submitted information on the culpable role played by IPS officer Khurshid Ahmed, the then commandant of SRPF Group in Naroda.
He has mentioned in his letter that now the Hindu radicals and Sangh Parivar members will feel that they can continue to enjoy total impunity and immunity from legal action and accountability for their crimes during riots, while the Muslim terrorists and Jehadis can redouble their false propaganda about the so-called prejudice of the Indian administration against the Muslims who are allegedly denied justice in Gujarat riot cases. Consequently, an increasing number of misguided Muslim youth will come under the grip of internationally organised Muslim terrorists.
Along with the letter, Sreekumar has also written another letter requesting for the copies of his statement recorded by VV Chaudhary, superintendent of police, in connection with the investigation of Zakia Jafri's complaint in July-August 2009.
Earlier, Sreekumar had written three letters _ on July 16, 2009, on September 21, 2009, and on November 13, 2010 _asking for the copies of the statement but the SIT had not responded.
