KL Report

SRINAGAR

Former counter insurgency DSP, Mohammad Ashraf Mir, recorded his statement before a Chandigarh Court in the sex scandal case saying he was “falsely” indicted only to derail the peace operation in Jammu and Kashmir.

The infamous sex scandal surfaced in 2006 and it hit the headlines as many politicians were in the list of the accused.

The former DSP was accused of sexually exploiting a victim. However, the victim, while recording statement before the court, turned hostile and denied having been exploited by Mir. She had admitted to visiting his house but claimed that the DSP’s daughter was her friend and he was “her uncle”.

Later the special CBI Judge Vimal Kumar deferred the hearing to March 25, 2014.

The sex scandal hit the headlines after a pornographic MMS was circulated in 2006. Police investigations revealed that one a lady was supplying girls to the officials in the state, among whom one was a minor. Later, the case was handed over to the CBI.

The scandal shook the state, and no lawyer appeared in defence of the accused. The case was then transferred to Chandigarh by the apex court.
