Yakhinkhan Abdul Majid, a co-accused of Samirkhan Pathan in the “conspiracy to kill Modi’’, has filed an application in the court of the Ahmedabad Metropolitan Magistrate seeking an inquiry into the veracity of the charges made in the FIR against him and Pathan.

Majid’s application, filed yesterday through advocate B.M. Gupta, says that the FIR is inadmissible in court as police have no evidence.

It alleges that Pathan, prime accused in the case, was killed with the sole intention of drawing the curtains on allegations made in the FIR.

It also requests the court to order police to present the accused before the court at the next hearing, to enable him to appoint his lawyer.

Two other complaints were also filed yesterday in the same court by Majid and two other co-accused, Abu Bakr and Ajay Sharma, alleging that jail authorities were not allowing their relatives and lawyers to meet them.

All of them are in judicial custody.

Earlier, Bakr had filed a complaint before the Metropolitan Magistrate, alleging that the Detection unit of the Crime Branch had detained him unlawfully from September 28 to October 1.

He had submitted a copy of the complaint lodged by his son, Dawood Bakr, at T.T. Nagar Police Station in Bhopal on September 28 alleging that his father had not returned after he was taken away by two men who claimed to be from Gujarat police.

Most applications are from Muslim-majority districts, but 28 have been rejected and none have been accepted. Eligibility criteria include being an indigenous citizen, 21 years old, and residing in a vulnerable area. The government aims to protect those in sensitive areas, not arm young people.
