Dismissed J&K DSP who ferried militants brought to city for questioning

The Special Cell of the Delhi Police has brought dismissed Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Davinder Singh on a production warrant.

Singh was caught in South Kashmir while ferrying two militants to Jammu on January 11. He was alleged to have been ferrying the militants from the Shopian area, possibly out of the Valley.

According to DCP (Special Cell) Pramod Singh Kushwah, the Delhi Police Special Cell has brought Singh here on a production warrant to find out about the plans of carrying out any terror activity in the national capital and for interrogation in this regard.

On January 27, the Special Cell had registered an FIR on the complaint of a police officer, who had received information from a source about the planned killings in the city. The FIR stated: “Information

Davinder Singh

was received from reliable source that underworld don Chhota Shakeel of D-gang has tasked his operatives to execute targeted killings of influential political and judicial figures in Delhi and neighbouring states.”

The underworld operatives of D-gang have managed to arrange high-grade weapons. The delivery of weapons was also arranged by Shakeel and the communication for delivery was done through “endto-end encrypted” messaging applications.

No specific targets had been named in the FIR nor any came up during the investigation and the matter is being probed further.
