New Delhi (Milli Gazette - 1 February 2010): A youth
was kidnapped this afternoon from an Azamgarh village in eastern Uttar
Pradesh by armed plainclothes. The youth was identified as “Shahzad
Ahmad”.
According to reliable sources in Bilaryaganj, around 25 armed plainclothes
arrived in Khalispur village near Bilaryaganj in Azamgarh at about 3.30 pm
today. They barged into the house of Niyaz Ahmad, threatened the
occupants, abused women and pushed Shahzad’s uncle to the floor injuring
him seriously.
The plainclothes dragged Niyaz Ahmad’s grandson
Shahzad Ahmad, aged 21 years, to the waiting vehicles threatening all in
their way with brandished arms.
As a result of this kidnapping, the whole area of Azamgarh is once again
gripped in fear and apprehension as such kidnappings had stopped in recent
months.
Bilaryaganj police station incharge told relatives and
locals who have assembled there in the wake of this kidnapping that a
police party from “outside” has taken away the youth said to be absconding
since Delhi’s Batla House “encounter” of September 2008 in which two
Azamgarh youths were killed by plainclothes later identified as officers
of Delhi police.
