Disgraced Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh sent to Kathua jail

Srinagar: Disgraced Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Davinder Singh who was sent to 15-day judicial custody, will be put up in a Kathua jail instead of a Jammu one after he raised “threat to life” alarms.

According to sources Singh pleaded for sending him to the Heeranagar jail and told that there is a threat to his life in the Kotbalwal Jail which housed militants who were arrested in operations led by him.

A Special NIA court in Jammu on Thursday sent Singh and four others to judicial custody.

Singh was on Friday sent to the Heeranagar jail while the other four, including Hizbual Mujahideen commander Naveed Babu, have been put up in the Kotbalwal jail in Jammu.

According to sources, the NIA is carrying out investigations after raids at multiple locations, including Singh’s residences in Kashmir.

Sources indicate that questioning of Singh will be done in Jammu and there was no plan to shift him to Delhi for now. They also said that Singh’s phone is being examined for extracting deleted WhatsApp chat. (IANS)
