Lawyer of Davinder Singh pointed out that neither did the police file a chargesheet within the statutory period of 90 days nor was the permission sought to extend the period.
New Delhi| Davinder Singh, the suspended Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Superintendent of Police who was arrested has been granted bail. The bail was granted as the Delhi police failed to file a chargesheet within three months as prescribed under the law in another case. Davinder Singh was found in a car with two Hizbul terrorists earlier this year.
On January 11, Jammu and Kashmir cop intercepted a car at Mir Bazaar before the Jawahar tunnel in Kulgam district and found Singh was travelling to Jammu along with two top Hizbul terrorists named Naveed Babu and Asif Ahmad and lawyer Rafi Ahmad.

Later, the National Investigation Agency took over the inquiry into the case.
