Fake encounter: Cop in custody

While the chief metropolitan magistrate court on Wednesday remanded Pradyumna Yadav, a sub-inspector of the Gurgaon police, in three-day police custody in the alleged fake encounter of gangster Sandeep Gadoli, the latter’s sister said she would be submitting new evidence to the Mumbai police regarding the incident.
Speaking to The Asian Age on Wednesday, Sudesh Kataria, claimed that she had videos that showed how Yadav had threatened Gadoli and her.
“Yadav would routinely visit our house and harass us. He once raided my house when no one was present and took away all our belongings including cash and jewellery and then brought back an empty suitcase. When we asked him about it, he said the bag had arms and weaponry found in Gadoli’s possession and he had submitted this to his seniors,” she said. “He then proceeded to threaten us with his service pistol,” she added.
Kataria claims she had recorded footage of all these incidents. “I had submitted many documents, audio and video recordings to the special investigation team (SIT), but I had held some of these back and now I will be giving them to the team,” she said.
Kataria will meet with the SIT officers on Thursday and hand over the video recordings.
“I hope this will reveal how the Gurgaon police plotted my brother’s murder. There is evidence against two builders who had asked the Gurgaon police to murder my brother,” she said.
Meanwhile, according to the prosecution on Wednesday, as the bullet cartridges the SIT had collected from the spot weren’t matching the seized weapons, it wanted to know the whereabouts of missing weapons from Yadav.
The police also sought the CCTV camera one of the accused had removed from the hotel and hid in his pocket.
