Suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh granted bail in terror case

 A Delhi court on Friday granted bail to suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh, who was arrested in January while ferrying two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway.  

New Delhi: Suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh, arrested while ferrying two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists in a vehicle on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway earlier this year, was granted bail by a Delhi court on Friday, his lawyer said.

Singh and another accused in the case — Irfan Shafi Mir — were granted the relief by the court in a case filed by special cell of Delhi Police, noting that the probe agency failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days from his arrest, as prescribed under law, their lawyer MS Khan said.

The bail was granted on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of like amount.

On June 9, the duo, along with another accused Syed Naveed Mushtaq, had sought bail but later withdrew the plea.
