Major implicated in rape dismissed from service
By F. Ahmed, Indo-Asian News Service
Srinagar, Jan 31 (IANS) An Indian Army officer accused of raping a woman and her daughter in Jammu and Kashmir was Monday dismissed from service by a military court.
The court did not find Maj. Rahman Hussain guilty of the rape charge but indicted him for “other charges” that it did not specify. The sentence will have to be confirmed by senior officials of the army’s Kashmir-based Northern Command.
Brig. Syed Ata Hasnain, the presiding officer of the general court martial that tried Hussain, concluded the inquiry Monday at Uri.
“Maj. Rahman Hussain was found not guilty of charges of rape and outraging the modesty of Mehbooba,” said a statement issued by the army here.
“Maj. Rahman was found guilty of other charges in varying degrees and awarded the punishment of dismissal from service. The sentence though is subject to confirmation by superior authority.”
Thousands of villagers took to the streets at Handwara in north Kashmir Nov 7, alleging Hussain, an officer with the Rashtriya Rifles counter-insurgency force, had raped a mother and her minor daughter at Badra Payeen village.
The incident allegedly occurred during the intervening night of Nov 6 and 7 while Home Minister Shivraj Patil was visiting the Kashmir Valley.
The army had earlier suspended Hussain to ensure a speedy and fair investigation.
Authorities ordered the general court martial and appointed the Uri brigade commander, Brig. Hasnain, as the presiding officer.
The army said the court martial was “conducted under full media transparency and free from any pressures and prejudices”.
