The T-shirt
Akbar Owaisi was wearing at the time of attack on April 30, 2011 went missing
from the Owaisi Hospital, under mysterious circumstances.
Hans India
reported that an RTI activist Mohsin Bin Hussain Al Kasary blew the lid off
stating “interestingly, the last two lines of the first paragraph on Page 7 of
the charge sheet (No. 22 of 2011 in Cr. No. 135 of 2011), filed by the Central
Crime Station (CCS), Hyderabad, state that “the T Shirt he wore at the time of
attack was misplaced in Owaisi Hospital.” Mohsin felt that the officers who
conducted the panchnama or the investigating officer ought to have registered a
case in connection with misplacing/ theft of the T-shirt.
He also felt
surprise over the fact that the final report mentioned over two dozen material
objects that were collected from the scene of offence and also from the Owaisi
Hospital premises, where the Gypsy vehicle, in which Akbaruddin Owaisi was
rushed for treatment, was parked, but not the T-shirt. It appears only the T-shirt
was ‘misplaced’ for the reasons best known to the police officials, he
exclaimed.
Mohsin
maintained that there is a widespread belief that the alleged attackers did not
have firearms and they did not fire at Akbaruddin Owaisi and this was the
secret behind the missing T-shirt.
He also felt
strange that the investigators did not try to elaborate on the steps taken to
find out the ‘misplaced’ T Shirt nor the police officers who conducted the
observation- cum- seizure panchnama bothered to lodge a complaint regarding
‘misplaced/ theft’ of the T-shirt.
After
obtaining the case documents under the Right to Information Act and thoroughly
studying the papers, the RTI activist, had lodged a complaint with the city
police commissioner on October 10, 2014 seeking appropriate action but in vain.
Hence he said he was left with no other option but to approach the High Court
seeking action on his representation.
