Srinagar, Feb 10: Three days on Jammu and Kashmir Police
have failed to arrest the former Health Minister and senior Congress leader
Shabir Ahmed Khan, facing molestation charges.
A local court here on Saturday had issued arrest warrants
against Khan but till date he continues to evade arrest.
The former Health Minister, who enjoys a security of five
PSOs seems to have vanished in thin air. “Police raided his official residence
in Jammu and questioned his PSOs but they were unaware about his whereabouts,”
said a top police official.
A special police team which was sent to arrest Khan from
Srinagar too seems “clueless” about the Congress big man.
Police failing to arrest Khan has evoked sharp criticism
from different sections of the society. “How can police be clueless about
Shabir Khan’s whereabouts when he is round the clock with police security?”
asked President Doctors Association of Kashmir Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan.
He questioned the delay in arresting the accused. “In Sara
Grooves (a British resident who was killed in Srinagar by a Dutch tourist in
April last year , the Kashmir police arrested the accused Richard Dewit( a
Dutch tourist) within 24 hours; but in Shabir Khan’s case, police is delaying
his arrest despite huge public outcry,” he added.
