It is alleged that Abbas, along with his friend Saifi, kidnapped a 17-year-old girl from her college on April 27, 2023. Abbas’s father submitted a complaint letter to the Chief Secretary of UP on May 15, 2023, alleging that Abbas and the girl were murdered by Dilip Yadav, Akash Yadav and others.
The father had accused the son of kidnapping
Later, the father sent another complaint letter to the Superintendent of Police through post. In this, he claimed that his son and the girl were kidnapped and the accused have kept them at an unknown place.
On August 11 last year, the police recovered the girl and recorded her statement before a magistrate under Section 164 of the CrPC. The prosecution claimed that Abbas had been murdered and added relevant sections against the accused. To strengthen their argument, the police also claimed to have recovered Abbas’s blood-stained clothes from one of the accused, Guddu.
Guddu’s lawyer told the High Court that Abbas is alive and is living with his uncle in Dubai. The police have filed a murder charge without even recovering the body.
The court noted that this is a case where the prime accused Ali Abbas is a young boy who has been missing for a long time and the investigating officer has filed a chargesheet under Section 302 of the IPC without recovering the alleged dead body and also without collecting any credible evidence. The police has taken the entire action on the basis of recovery of clothes of the prime accused Ali Abbas.
Officials said the court termed it a serious matter and handed over the investigation to the CBI. The CBI has again registered a case related to the alleged kidnapping of a minor, in which Kaushambi police had made Abbas the main accused.
As per procedure, the CBI re-registers the FIR of the state police, which is investigating the matter, as its own case. The agency’s final report is submitted before a special court which may or may not agree with the allegations in the FIR.
