Lt Col, 2 others quizzed on shooting of Dilshan

Chennai, Jul 5 (PTI) A Lt Colonel and two other army
personnel are being questioned in connection with the shooting
of 13-year-old Dilshan but police are yet to make a
breakthrough.
Two days after Dilshan succumbed to gunshot wounds in
army residential premises here, a top police official said,
"We are verifying some of the leads. But there is no
breakthrough yet."
In Delhi, army sources said a Lt Colonel, a jawan and
a civilian guard were made available to the CB-CID in south
Indian city Chennai for questioning. They have not been
detained, the sources said.
On its part, the CB-CID Additional DGP R Sekar avoided
a direct reply about the questioning of the Lt Colonel but
said the probe was still on and no conclusion could be drawn
now.
Asked if the state police were planning to seek the
nod from army headquarters to question some officers here, he
told PTI that army officers in Chennai were extending "full
assistance" in the probe.
An army statement said all its personnel in the
vicinity of the spot of Sunday's incident and the civilian
security guard on duty in the compound, who could throw any
light on the incident, have been made available for joint
investigations (by military police and CB-CID police).
