Terrorism, exodus of Hindus & usurping of their land behind 63 year old Jamwal’s failed assassination bid on Farooq Abdullah

JAMMU:
Terrorism outbreak, exodus of Hindus & encroachment of their land in Kashmir were triggers for 63 year old Kamal Singh Jamwal to attempt assassination bid on NC president and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah.
The NC leader has survived the bid on his life at Royal Park, Greater Kailash, on March 11 while he was leaving the venue.
A special investigation team (SIT) of Jammu and Kashmir Police has filed 600 page charge-sheet in the case before the court of the chief judicial magistrate (CJM), Jammu on May 8.
The accused held former chief minister Farooq Abdullah responsible for terrorism in Kashmir, mass exodus of Hindus from valley and encroachment of their land by the Islamic radicals, said an official, privy to the drafting of the charge-sheet.

“He strongly felt that terrorism broke out under then chief minister Farooq Abdullah in 1989, who did nothing to contain it and as a result Hindus were hounded out of Kashmir and their land usurped,” he added.
Charge-sheet further stated that the accused harboured bad-blood for over two decades and was looking for an opportunity to eliminate Abdullah.

The firing incident occurred in the Greater Kailash area on March 11 as Abdullah and deputy CM Surinder Choudhary were leaving a marriage function. CCTV cameras caught the incident. Footage showed the gunman approaching Abdullah from behind and firing a shot at him with his licenced pistol from very close range. Security, however, thwarted the attempt and took the accused – identified as 63-year-old Kamal Singh Jamyal – into custody. A case under Section 109 (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and section 3/25 of the Arms Act was registered at Gangyal police station.
Jammu inspector general BS Tuti formed the seven-member SIT on March 14, under the then deputy inspector general (DIG), Jammu, Samba Kathua range Shiv Kumar Sharma, who is currently posted as DIG of the Udhampur-Reasi range.
