Attack on Sumedh Saini: Devinder Bhullar acquitted

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, December 1

A local court today acquitted militant Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar, alleged main accused in the September 1991 attack on Sumedh Singh Saini, IG, Punjab Police.

The Additional Sessions Judge, Mr R.S.Baswana, acquitted the militant for lack of evidence and weak presentations by the prosecution.The defence counsel had been pleading that Bhullar and the other accused had been "framed" by the investigating agencies.

A case under the TADA Act and Sections 302,307 and 120-B of the IPC was registered against Bhullar and two others — Partap Singh and Gursharan Kaur Mann — in 1991 after the attack in which four persons were killed and Mr Saini, who was then the Chandigarh SSP, seriously injured.

After the attack,Bhullar reportedly escaped to Germany. The Government of India then sought his extradition and he was arrested on his arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, in 2003.

And there was furore in the media about his alleged torture by the Delhi Police.

It was then that the Chandigarh Police applied for his transit remand in connection with the present case. Bhullar appeared for several hearing at the District Courts here.

During one of the hearings, the Sessions Court dropped charges under the TADA Act against him.

Bhullar had also been awarded death sentence by the Supreme Court for triggering off a bomb blast on September 11,1993, outside the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) headquarters on the Raisina Road in New Delhi.The then IYC chief, Mr MS Bitta, was among those injured in the blast.

Later, Bhullar petitioned the President for clemency and his mercy petition is pending with the Government of India.

In fact, the president of the All-India Anti Terrorist Front, Mr MS Bitta, had alleged here yesterday that the government had put the mercy petition in "cold storage" as even after three years no decision had been taken.

Mr Bitta had also alleged that the government was going soft on the militants, including Bhullar and the alleged prime accused in the Parliament House attack —Afzal Guru.

It may be good news but I don't like the use of the word "militant" when describing him. It makes it out like he is still guilty of something, despite being found not guilty.....or maybe I'm just looking too much into it.
