The CBI will seek from the Srinagar Special Court the police remand of eight Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel arrested by it for inflicting “brutal and inhuman custodial torture” on a fellow police constable two years ago, officials said.
The eight officers who were taken into custody on Wednesday night after detailed questioning will be interrogated further to ascertain the roles of each accused in torturing Constable Khursheed Ahmad Chohan for six days on suspicion of helping drug peddlers.
In its FIR registered on the orders of the Supreme Court, the central agency had booked Deputy Superintendent of Police Aijaz Ahmad Naiko and five others, who were then posted at the Joint Interrogation Centre, Kupwara, the officials said.
