'Probe on against Geelani, Roy'
ANTI-INDIA SPEECH
PRESS TRUST OF INDIA
New Delhi, Apr 19: The city police on Tuesday told a Delhi court that it was still probing the sedition case against Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, writer Arundhati Roy and four others for making alleged anti-India speeches last year.
The Station House Officer (SHO) of the Tilak Marg police station made this submission before Metropolitan Magistrate Navita Kumari Bagha in his latest probe status report filed in the court today.
Stating that the probe was "under progress", the SHO told the court that they have examined complainant Sushil Pandit and had asked him to join the probe.
"The investigation is under progress. The complainant has already been partly examined. A notice under section 160 of the CrPC has also been served to him (Pandit) to assist in collection of evidence and to join the investigation of this case," the SHO said.The court listed the matter for further hearing on July 4.
Besides Geelani and Roy, the complaint sought prosecution of four others, including Delhi University professor S A R Geelani, who was acquitted in Parliament attack case, and Sheikh Showkat Hussain, a professor of University of Kashmir.
According to the complaint, the accused allegedly made anti-India comments at a convention here in October last year on 'Azadi-The Only Way'.
Geelani had shared the dais with Roy and pro-Maoist leader Varavara Rao among others. The FIR in the case was registered in November 2010 following a court order.
