New Delhi: A Delhi
court Wednesday disposed of a petition by arrested journalist Syed
Mohammad Kazmi in which he alleged that officials of a "foreign
agency" had interrogated him over the bomb attack on an Israeli
embassy car here.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav said the special cell of
Delhi Police in its reply has denied that any foreign
investigative agency had interrogated Kazmi.
The court agreed with police that Indian officials have to
cooperate with other countries, as terrorism has become a global
phenomenon.
The court added that the reply filed by the police is not specific
about the probe agency of any country, yet it is expected that the
special cell will not permit other probe agencies to interrogate
Kazmi.
Police had said that foreign investigating agencies can be allowed
to interrogate suspects if required under law.
The court also did not allow Kazmi's counsel Vijay Agarwal to be
present when the journalist was questioned. However, Kazmi's
counsel was allowed to meet him for half an hour.
"As regards not wearing the khaki uniform by the investigating
officer and his team is concerned, considering the fact that the
officials of the special cell with particular and specific nature
of duties assigned to them may not wear the uniform, but that does
not absolve them from their responsibility to wear their clear
identification tags," said Yadav.
The petition was filed by 52-year-old Kazmi last week.
Hailing from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh and a resident of Delhi,
Kazmi was arrested this month on charges of allegedly
collaborating with Iranian suspects who are said to have carried
out the bombing.
Four people were injured when the car of an Israeli diplomat's
wife was struck by a bomb here Feb 13.
