Jammu, November 25
One of the two senior police officers who was yesterday attached to the police headquarters for “using foul language” against politicians -- as revealed by a leaked video of the “police interrogation” of business tycoon Choudhary Nagar Singh, alias Nago -- has been inundated with sympathy messages from his friends on social networking site Facebook.

With some 5,000 friends on the Facebook, Superintendent of Police Mubassir Latifi, who earlier headed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe the murder of Amandeep Singh, son of former legislator Deepinder Kour, is getting flooded with messages and wishes from Netizens.

One of his friends, Khalid Mustafa Bhatti, has posted: “It pained but what can v (we) do except pray.” In response to this comment, Latifi has posted, “Need your prayers only. Thanks a lot dear.”

Another friend Rizwan Ahmed has posted, “Sir, I salute u (you) for doing justice. Tou kya howa tiger aj headquarter mai hai lakin kahlayega na tiger hi na (What if the tiger has been attached to the Police Headquarters, still he will be recognised as a tiger.) Sir, once again (I) salute u. With love, Rizwan.”

Some of his friends are not only sending him sympathy messages but are also wishing him a promotion. “Very soon bro (brother) is coming (as) SSP Jmu (Jammu). So, don’t take tension,” writes Thakur Virender Rulz.

The action against the police officer has not only invited a stream of messages but has also started a debate on his facebook account.

Following the circulation of the video, showing the interrogation of Nago, the state government at a Cabinet meeting yesterday had ordered the attachment of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Basant Rath and Superintendent of Police (SP) Mubassir Latifi to the police headquarters here.

In the leaked video, the police officers have been shown using “foul” and “derogatory” words against some politicians and influential persons.

Superintendent of Police Basant Rath does not have a facebook account at present. “Earlier, the SSP had made an account on the facebook, but now either he has deleted or blocked it,” said a police officer, once considered close to him.
