SIA files supplementary chargesheet against Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra
Aug 09, 2022
SRINAGAR: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Monday produced a supplementary charge sheet against the PDP leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra in the designated court Srinagar.
"The supplementary charge sheet also consists Abate challan against the OGW and terrorists involved in different terrorism acts (now killed) with whom accused Waheed-ur-Rehman had developed links and hatched criminal conspiracy for political gains," said an official.
Earlier, the Criminal Investigation Kashmir (CIK), now SIA had submitted a charge sheet before the court alleging that Parra was hand in glove with militants to further the agenda of militant groups and also to ensure that his political adversaries are neutralised.
The charge sheet has highlighted his links to Pakistan-trained Abu Dujana and Abu Qassim, who were killed in separate encounters with security forces, and went on to allege that he used to meet them personally as well as through Over Ground Workers (OGWs).
The main charge sheet had tracked his journey from 2007 when he went to Pakistan and interviewed banned Hizbul Mujahideen's chief Syed Salahuddin and broadcast it on his local media channel which was being operated from Pulwama, his home district in south Kashmir.
Parra joined the PDP in 2013 and "once ensconced in the safety of a recognised political party..., the accused systematically went about strengthening himself by craftily deepening his roots on two sides of the divide - India and Pakistan".
As per the charge sheet, Parra had the permission of the Pakistani establishment to keep throwing crumbs at India, allowing them petty tactical gains and systematically pushing the overall situation, slowly but surely, in favour of Pakistan in a strategic sense.
In March last year, Parra was charge-sheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and it was alleged that the PDP youth leader had paid Rs 5 crore to the son-in-law of hardline Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for keeping Kashmir in turmoil after the death of Burhan Wani, a commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist group, in 2016.
