<!--QuoteBegin-ravish+Nov 16 2008, 02:29 PM-->QUOTE(ravish @ Nov 16 2008, 02:29 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Arrested army officer Shrikant Prasad Purohit sourced over 60kg of RDX during his stint in Jammu and Kashmir and <b>may have</b> provided a part of it for use in explosions in Malegaon and aboard the peace train Samjhauta Express, investigators said in court today.
The revelation came when the Maharashtra anti-terrorist squad (ATS) produced the lieutenant colonel before the Nashik chief judicial magistrate for further remand.
ATS counsel Ajay Misar claimed that a Malegaon blast witness had quoted Purohit as saying he had procured 60kg of RDX during his stint in Jammu and Kashmir in 2006 and that he gave a part of it to a man named Bhagwan.[right][snapback]90238[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->What a miracle! Not only have they found (bribed?) some entity to witness to Purohit's presence at the blast, not only does it <i>also happen to provide</i> the very quote to indict Purohit in the crime with incriminating hearsay 'evidence', but it ALSO gives - in the same testimony - the final crucial piece 'of evidence' for the prosecution: that of <i>how/where</i> Purohit got the stuff necessary for the crime to have been commited at all. So far the christoKKKongressi side had blundered in thinking it would all be really easy if they could just find a random Hindu in the army to pin the materials on. It all seemed like an easy frame-and-convict-em excercise when they came up with it.
But then the army wouldn't cooperate in towing the KKKongress plotline and also, the idea of SIMI's willing help may seem farfetched even to the most desperate believers among the christoislamaniac readership of the christomedia - though they are used to taking things on faith. (Besides SIMI may not take kindly to their proud handiwork being credited to the evil kaffiri Hindoos and may thus spoil ATS' carefully built nonsense plot.)
So now, the prosecution has to resort to plan X: the <b>deus-ex-machina</b>, here in the form of a convenient witness who's been introduced into the story to explain the missing plot elements, or rather, to fill in the gaping plot holes by means of unlikely exposition.
Of course, anyone with half a brain asks: Who is this unnamed witness? What did the narc tests reveal about him/her/it, since the ATS is such a fan of natc tests? What are its credentials, else how do we know it is so reliable? Even then, where's the evidence that this entity was indeed present during the Malegoan blasts, other than its say-so? Isn't it his/her word against Purohit's word? (How much does it usually earn? How much money was in this witness' bank account in 2007 or even Jan 2008 and how much money is in there now? Where did the difference come from?)
<b>ADDED:</b> Skip the following. Turns out DailyPioneer came to this conclusion like hours ahead of me (just clicked on Mudy's link in order to save it). But I did come upon the same conclusion independently. Yay? Clever me; shame I move at <i>snail</i>'s pace.
Wah? From the same unnamed source that ravish posted, it looks like even better questions can be derived from the contradictions between the witness' scripted monologue and things like:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A team of Haryana railway police is currently in Mumbai to interrogate Purohit.
However, <b>sources in the Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Madhuban in Haryana, which analysed evidence from the Panipat site, said the explosive device was made up of potassium chlorate, carbon and sulphur along with diesel or petrol and magnesium wires. No RDX was used, they added.</b>
Misar claimed Purohit had told the ATS he had thrown the RDX into the Jhelum, but the investigations indicated he had managed to transport the explosive material to his next posting in military intelligence at Deolali in Nashik.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Wait, let me get this straight. Does the above say what I think it says? No, it can't be. Can it? Witness says Purohit got RDX. But forensics say RDX wasn't used.
Isn't this like the police planting a gun on the accused and then being told later by forensics that the gun found could not even be the murder-weapon since the actual bullets used don't belong to the type of gun that was planted? TSssss. (If so, then they'll have to incriminate the gun in some other crime - i.e. KKKongreSS, ATS and prosecution have to foist some other bombing event that did involve RDX on Purohit or they have to somehow tie him to these other materials now.)
Does this now mean even the KKKongreSS' deus-ex-machina failed the plot? Terrible movie all round. Time to ask for money back.
