Where is Akbar’s T-shirt?
The infamous case of alleged attack on the life of MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi on April 30, 2011 is known to all. But what is not known to many is that the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of attack went missing from the Owaisi Hospital, under mysterious circumstances.
Hyderabad: The infamous case of alleged attack on the life of MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi on April 30, 2011 is known to all. But what is not known to many is that the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of attack went missing from the Owaisi Hospital, under mysterious circumstances. “It is surprising to note from the final report that except for the T-shirt, over two dozen material objects were collected from the scene of offence and also from the Owaisi Hospital premises, where the Gypsy vehicle, in which Akbaruddin Owaisi was rushed for treatment, was parked.
It appears only the T-shirt was ‘misplaced’ for the reasons best known to the police officials,” RTI activist, Mohsin Bin Hussain Al Kasary, who blew the lid on this issue, told The Hans India. Mohsin said there is a widespread belief that the alleged attackers did not have firearms and they did not fire at Akbaruddin Owaisi and this was the secret behind the missing T-shirt.
The investigators did not try to elaborate on the steps taken to find out the ‘misplaced’ T Shirt. The final report makes it clear that the police officers who conducted the observation- cum- seizure panchanama never bothered to lodge a complaint regarding ‘misplaced/ theft’ of the T-shirt, said to be vital to establish the fact that the bullets allegedly fired by the accused did pierce through the very T-shirt and entered the body of Akbaruddin Owaisi. He said he was left with no other option but to approach the High Court seeking action on his representation.
Interestingly, the last two lines of the first paragraph on Page 7 of the charge sheet (No. 22 of 2011 in Cr. No. 135 of 2011), filed by the Central Crime Station (CCS), Hyderabad, state that “the T Shirt he wore at the time of attack was misplaced in Owaisi Hospital.” The officers who conducted the panchanama or the investigating officer ought to have registered a case in connection with misplacing/ theft of the T-shirt.
However, no such action was taken for the reasons best known to all the police officers concerned, he said. Mohsin said that he obtained the case documents under the Right to Information Act and thoroughly studied the papers. He had also lodged a complaint with the city police commissioner on October 10, 2014 to this effect and sought appropriate action but to no use.
