Held in February 2006, Irshad and Qamar have been behind bars for the last three years. The two were granted a breather in May 2006 after the High Court directed the CBI to conduct a probe into the allegations of a “frame up”.
The CBI, in its report, had said that Irshad and Qamar worked as police informers earlier and were in touch with a few of officers of the Intelligence Bureau. It also claimed that after a fallout with the Special Cell, RDX and arms had been planted on the accused they were picked up.
