NIA files chargesheet against suspended J&K officer Davinder Singh, caught with Hizbul militants

The National Investigation Agency on Monday filed a chargesheet against suspended Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Superintendent of Police Davinder Singh, who was caught with Hizbul Mujahideen militants earlier this year, ANI reported.

Five others were also named in the chargesheet that has been filed under various sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in a court in Jammu, according to News18. This includes militants Naveed Babu, his brother Irfan Mushtaq, Rafi Ahmed Rather, former president of Cross Line of Control Trade Association Tanveer Ahmed and lawyer Irfan Shafi Mir.

On June 19, a court in Delhi had granted bail to Singh and Mir as the police failed to file a chargesheet within the stipulated time period of 90 days from his arrest in a terror case. However, they were in judicial custody in connection with the case registered by the NIA in January for ferrying militants.
