Islamic preacher has no links with terror outfit: Court
A court has discharged Islamic preacher Maulana Syed Anzar Shah, observing there was no evidence to show he delivered \'jihadi\' speech or travelled abroad and was a member of Al Qaeda.
New Delhi : A court has discharged Islamic preacher Maulana Syed Anzar Shah, observing there was no evidence to show he delivered 'jihadi' speech or travelled abroad and was a member of Al Qaeda.
There was no incriminating evidence against Shah except a disclosure statement that was not admissible on record and no recovery was effected from Shah on the basis of the said disclosure statement, the court said in its order. However, the court ordered framing of charges against Abdul Sami, Zafar Masood, Abdul Rehman and Mohammed Asif under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
There was prima facie sufficient evidence and incriminating material against them, the court said. Shah was facing charges under Sections 18 (conspiracy), 18B (punishment for recruiting any person or persons for terrorist act) and 20 (punishment for being member of terrorist gang or organisation) of UAPA.
"It is seen that Shah never travelled abroad and there is no evidence of any 'jihadi' speech delivered by him or any intercepted calls or any other electronic evidence to connect him with any terrorist activity," the court said.
