Non-bailable warrants against 3 witnesses in CRPF attack case

Additional sessions judge Vijendra Singh issued warrants against surgeon N D Arora, homeguard jawan Aftab and CRPF jawan Kendra Singh, who had not been appearing in the court as witnesses despite repeated summons.

Dr Arora had performed the post mortem examination on the jawans who had lost their lives in the terror attack.

On January 1, 2008, seven Central Reserve Police Force personnel were among eight persons killed and five injured when heavily-armed terrorists stormed a camp of the paramilitary force in the wee hours near here.

Meanwhile, all the eight accused in the case including Fahim Ansari, Saba, Abu Zar, Adil, Shareef, Gulab, Jung Bahadur and Quasar were brought here from Bareilly central jail and produced before the court.

Trial in the case was initiated in February 2008.
