'Telgi got AIDS from cops'
TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2003 02:54:43 PM ]
BANGALORE: The story of multi-crore fake stamp paper racket and it's
kingpin, Abdul Karim Telgi alias Kareem Lala took an interesting twist
on Wednesday with Telgi's counsel in Bangalore charging the police
team probing the stamp case of injecting HIV positive virus to his
client and the police making an outright denial that Telgi had
contracted AIDS much before his arrest in 2001.
Abdul Karim Telgi has proved HIV positive, much before his arrest in
November 2001 and allegations being made by Telgi's counsel M.T.Nanaih
that his client has been injected with HIV virus by the police after
his arrest are false.
This was disclosed to the Times of India on Wednesday by STAMPIT chief
in Karnataka and ADGP R Srikumar who is heading the team probing the
stamp paper racket.
While vehemently denying the charge of Telgi's counsel, Srikumar said,
"We have evidence to this effect and we will prove it in the court of
law at an appropriate time. Let Nanaiah sue us. We will face him in
the court," Srikumar maintained.
Justifying his statement, Srikumar said "Some time ago, few newspapers
had carried reports that Telgi is an AIDS patient and he contracted it
before his arrest."
