'I Never Lost Faith': After 12 Years in Prison, Kashmiri Man Cleared of All Terror Charges

Bashir Ahmed Baba, who hails from Srinagar’s Rainawari area, was detained in Gujarat by Hindutva police back in 2010 on the allegations that he was visiting the state to recruit youth into militant ranks. Baba throughout his trial period maintained his innocence and told the court he was sent to Gujarat by the company he was employed with at that time to receive training in computer management

Bashir Ahmed says that he along with a colleague had been put up in a hostel in Ahmedabad to attend the two-week long training session but on the seventh day of his arrival, the anti-terrorism squad (ATS) of Gujarat police detained the duo. While his colleague, who Baba says was a non-Kashmiri, was eventually let go, the then
32-year-old was interrogated and even thrashed by Hindu police officers for the next two weeks. “I had no idea what my interrogators were talking about. They didn’t even tell me what I had done and kept on saying that I must confess,” said Baba.
