Bengaluru: The National Investigation Agency has filed a supplementary charge sheet before a court against three accused in a case related to providing assistance to inmate T. Nazeer, who was lodged at Parappana Agrahara Central Prison.
This is the second charge sheet filed by the NIA in the case. The supplementary charge sheet names Junaid’s mother Anis Fatima, Assistant Sub-Inspector Chand Pasha A., and prison doctor Dr Nagaraj S. as accused. The agency has invoked provisions of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Explosive Substances Act, the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the Karnataka Prison Act.
Earlier, the NIA had filed a charge sheet against nine accused, including absconding accused Junaid. With the fresh findings, the agency has now added further charges against the three accused.
According to the NIA investigation, Anis Fatima allegedly arranged financial support for T. Nazeer inside the prison. Acting on her son’s instructions, she is accused of procuring ammunition and walkie-talkies and facilitating communication between various accused in the case. The investigation also found that she helped prime accused Salman Khan by providing shelter and arranging travel documents, enabling him to flee to Dubai. Salman Khan was later traced to Rwanda, arrested, and brought back to India.
The agency has further stated that Chand Pasha, who was serving as an ASI in the City Armed Reserve South division, shared details about the movement and route used while escorting T. Nazeer to court. In return, he allegedly received illegal gratification from Salman Khan.
Dr Nagaraj, who was working as a psychiatrist at the Parappana Agrahara prison hospital, is accused of illegally selling mobile phones to inmates in exchange for money. The NIA has stated that he had also sold a mobile phone to T. Nazeer.
The case is now pending further proceedings before the court.

Ranchi: Temple guard bludgeoned to death during robbery attempt, 3 held
Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.
"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.
"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.
Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
