Meghen may be shifted to Tihar jail
Times of India | Sep 12, 2011, 11.29PM IST
If the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has its way, United National Liberation Front (UNLF) chairman Rajkhumar Meghen may soon be shifted to Tihar Jail where high profile politicians such as Amar Singh, A Raja and Kanimozhi are lodged at present.
Stressing the need for "immediate shifting" of Meghen to the jail in New Delhi "for security reasons", NIA has told the Union home ministry that the UNLF leader's stay in Guwahati central jail might allow him to keep his contacts alive with other Manipur-based militants. The NIA, in its plea, also said Meghen's stay in Guwahati would also help his aides to influence the witnesses.
The counsel said he would raise his arguments against the plea in court on Tuesday. "If Meghen can contact militants and influence the witnesses by staying in the city's jail, then it is a total failure of the security system. Moreover, the witnesses are said to be protected by the authorities earlier," Talukdar added.
