Probe panel seeks report on riots intel records *Thu Jul 07 2011, 03:13 hrs**Ahmedabad:** * *Commission gives Intelligence ADGP 10 days to submit report* The Nanavati-Mehta Commission on Wednesday ordered the Gujarat ADGP (Intelligence) to submit a report within 10 days about the status of state intelligence records and other documents relating to the Godhra train burning and the subsequent statewide riots of 2002. The Commission issued the order on an application moved by Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) in the wake of the government counsel at the Commission, S B Vakil, stating that the records relating to that period have been destroyed. The Commission said it would pass further directions on this after the ADGP (Intelligence) submits its report. JSM counsel Mukul Sinha said the application was heard by the Commission in the presence of government advocate Devang Vyas. The JSM has also sought a direction to the government to know which records of the state intelligence department were destroyed for the period between February 27, 2002 and May 31, 2002, and under whose directions and why. Among other documents, the JSM application has demanded to know if the records of DGP office, DGP’s control room, and the control rooms of the police commissioners of Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot and Surat from February 27, 2002 to May 31, 2002 are preserved. It has sought the Commission to direct the government to either produce or allow inspection of vehicle movement and telephone call registers of certain police officers of that period, including of IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt. JSM moved the application citing a “contradictory stand” taken by the government and its counsel over the existence of crucial 2002 intelligence records after Vakil’s announcement. Subsequently, reports had appeared in a section of media that the government wanted to deny this.

Godhra panel urged to verify TNN Jul 5, 2011, 12.48am IST AHMEDABAD: After government counsel S B Vakil told mediapersons that the state intelligence bureau (IB) records related to 2002 riots were destroyed at the end of 2007, the civil rights organization Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) on Monday requested the Godhra commission to direct the state government to file an affidavit in this regard. Citing the contradictory statements issued by the state government about existence of riot-related records, JSM urged the Nanavati-Mehta commission to ask the state home secretary on affidavit which data were destroyed. The government should be asked to reveal the name of officer, who ordered for destruction of records, the application said. The commission has also been requested to ask the government to produce or permit the inspection of all the vehicle movement registers of the vehicles of then DGP, Ahmedabad police commissioner, and IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt from February 27 to May 31. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
