In a fresh development in the Davinder Singh case, incriminating documents, including a map of the Army's 15 Corps headquarters in Srinagar, have been recovered from the residence of the now-suspended Jammu and Kashmir Police officer.

Sources have confirmed to India Today that during a raid at the residence of arrested cop Davinder Singh the team of officials recovered incriminating documents, which included a full location map of the 15 Corps.

Senior Jammu and Kashmir police officer Davinder Singh had reportedly sheltered three terrorists, who were arrested along with him on January 11, at his residence in Srinagar. Davinder Singh's Srinagar home is right next to the Army's 15 Corps headquarters at Badami Bagh cantonment.

The police recovered unaccounted cash worth Rs 7.5 lakh from Davinder Singh's residence, sources told India Today. Police on Wednesday also raided multiple locations in southern Kashmir, including houses of close relatives of Davinder Singh.

Earlier, an India Today ground report had found that Davinder Singh was building a house next to an army base in Srinagar. Davinder Singh had been building a lavish mansion in Indira Nagar, which is considered to be the most secure zone in Srinagar. His house had been under construction since 2017. The mansion shared a wall with the headquarters of the 15 Corps.

A ground investigation found that Davinder Singh had been living in a rented house belonging to his relative since the past five years.

Earlier, searches were carried out soon after the Davinder Singh was caught with two Hizbul terrorists. Two pistols, an AK rifle and a large quantity of ammunition were seized, officials had said.

Jammu and Kashmir Police Chief Dilbag Singh on Wednesday said documents had been recovered from the arrested cop's home. He, however, said details will be revealed at the right time.

Asked whether the police will seize Davinder Singh's properties, the DGP said the law will take its own course and whatever is necessary as per law will be done.

"These kind of activities are not going to deter us or make any impact on our morale which rather gets further strengthened. We don't believe in sheltering or protecting such type of people. We are very strict with them and in the past we have also removed people from service. We are very ruthless and we will be very ruthless in this case also," Dilbag Singh had said.

Police had arrested Davinder Singh at Mir Bazar in Kulgam district of south Kashmir along with Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists Naveed Baba and Altaf, besides an unidentified lawyer who was working as an overground worker for terror outfits.

"The DySP was suspended for his act and his sacking is also recommended and the government will take a call on that. We have already recommended for the transfer of the case to the NIA because something of wider level can come out of it with links here and there," the police chief added.
