En route to Liberhan, Babri files got lost in officer’s mystery death

Allegations of murder and an investigation hanging fire are the key elements of the mystery behind the 23 missing files on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.
Appearing before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday, UP Chief Secretary Atul Gupta submitted a letter from the Home Secretary stating that the missing files had last been taken by Subhash Bhan Sadh, Officer on Special Duty in the Communalism Control Cell of the UP Home Department, who later died in an accident.
But several things were left unsaid. Sadh died in an “accident” on way to Delhi to appear before the Liberhan Commission probing the Babri Masjid demolition — its report was submitted on June 30, almost 17 years after the Ayodhya incident.
He boarded the Kashi-Vishwanath Express in Lucknow on April 30, 2000 since he had to appear before the Liberhan Commission the next day. Just as the train entered New Delhi’s Tilak Bridge station, he met with an “accident”.
In a petition in the Delhi High Court, his father, Bir Bhan Sadh, said his son was carrying secret files which were never found. He alleged that his son was murdered, pushed from a running train as it slowed down at Tilak Bridge station. He fell in the gap between the platform and the train. Rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Sadh died the next day.
The Delhi High Court asked the Delhi Police to investigate Sadh’s death and file a report by August 22, 2000. Family advocate Randhir Jain said a report was filed and a reinvestigation directed. But the reinvestigation report was never filed, he said. In January 2002, the court asked the CID to investigate. Jain said there was again no progress.
“There were several loopholes in the police theory. They claimed that Subhash Sadh was carrying secret files but he was travelling second class. They did not record statements of co-passengers.
The accident story was based on the statement of a vendor who, from another platform, saw Subhash fall from the train.”
Jain said that Sadh was carrying contact numbers of several officials and lawyers he was supposed to meet but the police made no attempt to contact any of them. He said he got to know of the “accident” only through an anonymous phone call. The caller, who remains untraced, also told him that Sadh had been taken to RML Hospital.
Son Sunil Sadh knows nothing about the investigation.
When Principal Secretary (Home) Fateh Bahadur was asked about the investigation into Sadh’s death, he said: “The matter is before the court. Whatever we have to say, we will tell the court.”
V K Mittal, who was then Principal Secretary (Home) and is now Vice-Chancellor of Bundelkhand University, said: “When the incident took place, I was in Delhi and also visited the hospital. I was told that if he was carrying original files, the photocopies would be in our possession, and that if he was carrying photocopies, then the originals would be with us.”
