SRINAGAR, July 21: National Conference patriarch Dr Farooq Abdullah, whose position as President of JKCA has been for the time being protected by a court, said at his press conference that some government officials had presided over the trespassing and “removing of important records” by the government-sponsored group that captured the association’s headquarters after electing Minister of Sports Imran Raza Ansari as President on Monday.

"Can you imagine an officer of the rank of DIG and Divisional Commissioner (Dr Asgar Samoon) facilitated this criminal act of trespassing in blatant violation of the court orders. Let it be clear that we are going to proceed against them legally. It was none of their business to be here. They have no locus standi in this matter", Dr Abdullah told mediapersons. He however did not identify the DIG.
 
Dr Abdullah said that he filed an application before SHO Ram Munshi Bagh requesting him to register FIR for trespassing, ransacking of office and theft of important records from JKCA premises. "Initially the SHO refused to entertain our application. Police have to register an FIR whether they like it or not. Later, the SHO received our application and assured us that he would examine it and take action. However, so far we have not been given a copy of the FIR.
 
STATE TIMES asked SSP Srinagar Amit Kumar as to why FIR had not been registered and how a DIG and Divisional Commissioner had remained present during the disputed JKCA meeting and election. He said: "It doesn't constitute any crime as entire proceedings and activity took place under the supervision of a duly deployed executive magistrate. Police have received and filed the application in its Daily Diary". He said that DIG and Divisional Commissioner were present only as "observers" in presence of an executive magistrate.
