NEW DELHI, APRIL 29. The Crime Branch, which today gunned down two militants allegedly involved in sensational cases of kidnapping for ransom and having suspected links with European countries-based Khalistani militants, is trying to find out whether they had any link with the Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) Lok Sabha candidate from Aonla constituency of Uttar Pradesh. According to the Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), B.K. Gupta, the police recovered posters and stickers of the BSP candidate, Sudhir Kumar Maurya, from the car in which the two criminals, Jagtar Singh and Ravinder Singh, were travelling when they were intercepted and killed in the encounter at Timarpur in North Delhi. Mr. Gupta said it was not clear yet why they were carrying the posters. "It is also possible that the two were carrying the posters and stickers to evade the police deployed in the border areas by posing as the BSP candidate supporters. However, the police would probe other aspects of the matter as well," said Mr. Gupta. Interestingly, after kidnapping Jain brothers from Sonepat in Haryana on March 25, Jagtar had his accomplices had allegedly kept them in confinement in the Badayun area, which is near Aonla. Also, the police recovered the visiting card of one Maiko Ram Maurya, whose antecedents would be verified. The police are also trying to find out how the Maruti Esteem, whose real owner lives at East of Kailash in South Delhi, was passed on to Jagtar. Suspecting that the accused were extracting money by kidnapping businessmen at the instance of Khalistani militants operating from outside the country, they would also try to find out whether the money passed on to them by the accused was being used to procure arms and ammunitions in bulk for militant activities in the country.
