Court directs FIR in ISKCON property grabbing case

A court here has directed the Delhi Police to register an FIR in a case of alleged grabbing of a property donated to ISKCON trust in Greater Kailash here.

Metropolitan Magistrate Harun Pratap, who had earlier sought an action taken report (ATR) in the matter, directed the SHO concerned to register an FIR after noting that the report was "highly dubious and raised serious doubts over the veracity of the events".

The court noted from the ATR that an information about the house break and attempt to theft at the property by the representatives of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) trust was given to police by some persons.

However, it said, "The claim of proposed accused number 1 being in the possession of ground floor of the property previously and even after the alleged breaking of lock by the representatives of the complainant trust as alleged in the ATR, becomes highly dubious and raised serious doubts over the veracity of the events brought to the notice of the court in the ATR furnished by the police."
