Senior NIA official arrested for leaking confidential documents to Lashkar-e-Taiba

He had investigated the Malegaon bomb blast and Samjhauta Express cases that branded Hindus as terrorists

Editorial Comments

• The Government should make efforts to punish such traitors severely.
• What is wrong if Hindus demand, that all the cases which branded Hindu terrorists, and which were investigated by Negi be re-investigated ? Hindus feel that Negi, who worked for a jihadi terrorist organisation, deliberately targeted Hindus.
• Due to such incidents, the public’s faith in the Police has shattered. If the NIA was unaware of the terrorist connections of an IPS of the agency, then will the country’s largest investigative agency ever find out about other terrorist activities in the country ? It’s a matter of shame for them.
• Until now, the Police were hooligans, thieves, robbers, rapists, corrupt, but now they are also helping terrorists. Hence, the country is in real danger from such Police.

Negi had investigated the case of the Ajmer Dargah blast in 2007. It was alleged that devout Hindu activists had a hand in this case. Negi was also involved in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast investigation but was removed from it later. He was investigating the Samjhauta Express bombing case in which Swami Aseemanand was arrested.
