In a detailed affidavit filed by Dr PV Subramaniam in the High Court through advocates Srirang Bhandarkar and Sejal Lakhani, the NGO has submitted the guns used to kill the T1 tigress for ballistic investigation against the respondents Shafat Ali Khan Asghar Ali Khan. Requested for directions.
The petitioner has appealed to the respondent State Government to frame criminal charges against the shooters for ‘illegal’ hunting of T1 for fabricated fake and counterfeit weapons licenses and tampering with the evidence at the crime scene and dereliction of duty by the forest staff. initiate proceedings. Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
The affidavit alleged that the licenses submitted by the shooters do not have a Unique Identification Number (UIN). As per Arms Rules 2016, every arms license is required to have a UIN. If the Khan family claims that their licenses were renewed on March 10, 2017, why did the renewal authority not generate a UIN? The UIN is nowhere present in the copies of both the licenses.
The petitioner alleged that the endorsement of renewal is typed, and only the date of renewal is handwritten, and, surprisingly, the endorsement signature of the Commissioner of Police, though appear to be identical, is distinct and distinct.
In both the licences, the endorsement of renewal by the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad is completely typed, with only the day of renewal date handwritten. This raises strong suspicion of the possibility that the officials may have acted in connivance with the mines. Asghar used his father Shafat Ali Khan’s gun.
The petitioner had appointed Helic Advisory, a leading organization in forensic and allied sciences, to compare the signatures of the Commissioner of Police on Khan’s license. The forensic agency has confirmed the fraud.
The said agency stated that the license signings belong to different authors. Furthermore, while Shafat Ali Khan readily produced a copy of his license during the investigation, his son Asghar refused to produce it before the NTCA. It states that Asghar’s arms licenses seem to be forged.
The NGO further stated that the respondent Khans were not required to deposit their weapons during elections in Telangana. Shafat Ali Khan and Asghar Khan were members of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), and both were exempted from depositing their guns. The gun hoarding was therefore carried out with the malicious intent of preventing official access to the guns, which were an important part of the investigation.
Furthermore, Khan’s claims in court that he was never asked to submit his weapons are completely false. According to RTI information, PN Wagh, the then divisional manager of FDCM, had met Khan at Parwa forest rest house on November 3, 2018 morning after he shot Avni and he asked him to deposit the weapon. He said the weapons were in Umri Rest House. When Wagh went to Umri, both were gone. To several written communications by the FDCM, Khan said that since the tigress was already dead, there was no need to hand over arms.
NS petitioner NGO It also claimed that the forensic report falsified the claim of an attempt to pacify T1. On December 6, 2018, T1’s forensic report revealed that the tranquilizing drug was found only at the site of Darting. However, no trace of sedatives was found in the body parts of the tigress. The lack of tranquilizing drugs in the blood or organs of T1 indicates that the dart was injected after death, with malicious intent to simulate a darting attempt.
