Court asks DIGs to cause his appearance
Srinagar: The police today filed charge
sheet against former minister and congress leader Shabir Ahmad Khan, in a
molestation complaint lodged by a female doctor against him.
The court has accepted the charge sheet and issued
notices to DIG Jammu and DIG Rajouri-Poonch ranges. The charge sheet has been
filed under section 509 (showing any gesture, word, or action in order to
outrage modesty of a woman) and 354 (using criminal force to outrage the
modesty of woman) of RPC.
Pertinently, on February 8, the Chief Judicial
Magistrate (CJM) Srinagar had issued a non bail able arrest warrant against
Khan, former minister of state for health after being accused of molesting a
lady doctor. Police station Shaheed Gunj had registered FIR against Khan
bearing number 9 of 2014 under sections 354/509 RPC in the matter.
A day after the High Court granted relief to him, on February
13, Khan had appeared before police station Shaheed Ganj here. The High Court
had asked the police to release Khan on a personal surety bond once he presents
himself before the police. Khan furnished a personal bond of Rs 25,000, after
the high court yesterday said if police arrest him, he should be bailed out after
furnishing a personal bond. The court is scheduled to hear the matter on May
6. (KNS)
