terrorist Ariz Khan guilty in connection with the Batla House encounter case.

The court held that the prosecution has successfully proven the case.

Khan, who was arrested in February 2018, after a decade of allegedly being on the run. Ariz Khan was arrested by the Delhi Police's Special Cell.

Police has claimed that he was present at Batla House, along with four others, and had managed to give police the slip during the encounter on September 19, 2008 in Delhi's Jamia Nagar, in which two Indian Mujahideen bad boyz were potted and as many arrested.

Encounter specialist and Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, who led the police action, was also killed during the operation.

A trial court here in July 2013 had sentenced Indian Mujahideen terrorist Shahzad Ahmed to life imprisonment in connection with the Batla House encounter case.

#4  Ariz Khan did it in the Batla house with a walking stick. I remember that game.

#3  They generally don't get photographed until after they retire and write their memoirs or have films made on them, TW.

These are a few publicity hungry and politically protected guys who chased fame, most of them ended up burned by the next administration.

#2  The Indian version of Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion, but not nearly as imaginative? (See here for one of many, many examples in the Rantburg archives.)

Do yours look like this?

#1  Encounter specialist and Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma

In case you're wondering, an Encounter Specialist is not a pick-up artist or a UFO chaser, ladies and gents.

In a country beset by a justice system which takes decades to convict perps caught red handed [literally!], in a society where we have superstitiously religious, vegan judges who cannot sentence to death on certain days... he is a necessity created by the system to preserve balance. An Encounter Specialist is that rare breed of police grunt that has the wherewithal to pull the trigger and close the file. Not just fast guns, he and his merry band are experts at reverse forensics and creative report writing, packaging the shootings as 'encounters'.
