Kashmiri teacher recovering

Published February 11, 2005

NEW DELHI, Feb 10: Kashmiri teacher Syed Abdul Rehman Geelani, shot at by unidentified assailants on Tuesday night, was recovering well on Wednesday.

His defence lawyers and human rights groups accused the Delhi police of seeking to eliminate him.

Mr Geelani and three others were sentenced to death as alleged conspirators in the attack on the Indian parliament on Dec 13, 2001.

The Delhi High Court acquitted him, but the police have pleaded against the verdict at the Supreme Court.
