Israeli diplomat attack: Kazmi alleges harassment

In the application filed through his counsel Vijay Aggarwal, it has been alleged that Kazmi is being "tortured mentally since the day of his arrest to confess the crime which he never committed and is being threatened by the officials of the investigating agency to implicate his family members if he does not bow down to their will."

Aggarwal said he was allowed by the court to meet Kazmi, who was sent to 20-day police custody on March 7, for half an hour daily and it was during one such legal interview that Kazmi informed him about his custodial harassment. Kazmi, who claims to have been writing for an Iranian publication, was picked up by Special Cell of Delhi Police after a probe showed he had been in touch with a suspect, believed to have stuck the magnetic bomb on Israeli diplomat Tal Yehoshua`s car on February 13.

Israeli diplomat Tal Yehoshua and an Indian driver of the embassy vehicle, was among four people injured in the blast. In the application, Kazmi said he is being interrogated by "not only the officials of Delhi Police but also by officials of other investigating agencies as every day he sees a new face interrogating him." Aggarwal also annexed media reports suggesting that officials of other investigating agencies, that is "Israeli officials (Israeli Intelligence Agencies, Mossad etc), are lined up to interrogate him."

Kazmi has also complained that the officials interrogating him are always in plain clothes due to which he cannot make out who of them are from the Delhi Police and who are from other agencies. He said he is "not allowed to sleep which is causing great hardship" to him.
