UP Police affidavit absurd, attempt to mislead SC: Popular Front
Popular Front of India General Secretary Anis Ahmed, in his latest statement, has rubbished the claims in the affidavit filed by the UP Police in the Supreme Court opposing the bail plea filed by journalist Siddique Kappan. He called Uttar Pradesh Police's claims absurd and an attempt to mislead the court.
“Uttar Pradesh Police stands exposed for what they are. The entire world is now aware of how UP STF used innocent students and Journalist Siddique Kappan as sacrificial lambs to divert popular outrage over Hathras gangrape and murder incident and the appalling way authorities handled it,” said Anis Ahmed.
“Popular Front is a lawfully and democratically working organization. Associating with it is not a crime. In an attempt to prevent justice for the innocents UP Police is portraying Popular Front as an organization with terror links. It simply shows how far-fetched and baseless the case is and how desperate UP Police are in providing evidence for their claims. Now, these innocents have already completed two years in prison, not because there is a shred of truth in the UP Police’s story but because of the draconian charges slapped on them.”
"Popular Front hopes that the apex court sees through the lies of UP Police and put an end to the unjust imprisonment of Siddique Kappan and other innocents falsely implicated in the Hathras case,” added Anis Ahmed.
