NIA Piecing Together Activities Of Rogue DSP Davinder Singh

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is reportedly trying to piece together the many parts of the puzzle around the activities of the rogue DSP of Jammu and Kashmir police, Davinder Singh. It may be recalled that the disgraced cop was caught while ferrying two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, Naveed Babu and Rafi Ahmed, accompanied by a lawyer Irfan Ahmed in a vehicle to Jammu on January 11.

The NIA is yet to find associates in the police force, who would have helped Davinder in his sinister plans. In all likelihood, the rogue officer, described by investigators as a hardened criminal, might have been a lone wolf, media reports suggest.

The NIA crack team probing the case consists of IG Anil Shukla, DIG Sonia Narang and two SPs, Rakesh Balwal and Arvind Negi. The team from the country's premier agency, has been stationed in Jammu and includes Kashmiri policemen from the Agency.

Davinder Singh, a Kashmiri Sikh, is reportedly more fluent in Kashmiri than Hindi. Moreover, officials have detained him in Jammu for now, since they see the need to cross check locations in the area referred to by the disgraced cop. Later, he could be moved to Delhi.

Davinder Singh appeared to have no regret and reportedly harbours delusional ideas about his reach and presumes that he will walk free.

The NIA has booked Davinder Singh under the Arms Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Lawyer Irfan Ahmed, whose father is said to have been a Hizb militant in the 90s, is also being interrogated. Irfan has traveled to Pakistan on at least three occasions on a valid Indian passport.

Incidentally, the NIA team is said to have found a stash of obscene material on Davinder Singh's phone. The agency team is also sifting through the long list of nearly 3,500 contacts, media reports said.
