APSCC demands CBI probe into engineer’s death

Srinagar, Aug 29: All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the mysterious death of Engineer Gurmeet Singh.
“Since the whole issue is fishy, only a probe by CBI will settle the nerves of the Sikh community as a whole and the bereaved family in particular,” APSCC Chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina said in a statement.
He added, “Since fingers have been pointed towards the alleged role of the contractors in the whole episode, it is important that a probe is carried out by a professional investigative agency like CBI. The entire records of the R&B department should be seized so that all the possible angles are probed.”
“It is highly unfortunate that despite the formation of SIT only half-hearted measures were taken to find out the engineer who was missing since last Friday. The concerned agencies should have taken proactive steps to trace the missing engineer but that was not to be,” the APSCC Chairman said.
APSCC members Ajeet Singh Mastana and Principal Niranjan Singh also voiced the same demand. A large number of Sikhs assembled at Baramulla and expressed anguish over the mysterious death of Engineer Gurmeet Singh. The protesters while demanding stern action in the case appealed for peace and bonhomie among the different communities.
