A Danish court has rejected the Indian request for the extradition of Neal Halak alias Kim Davey, who is wanted in the case of dropping an arms consignment in West Bengal. The court held that Kim Davy could be treated in India in a manner inconsistent with the EU Charter on Human Rights.
India alleges that on December 17, 1995, Kim Davy dropped a consignment of arms from a Latvian Enotov N-26 aircraft over West Bengal’s Purulia district to aid anti-communist rebels. Kim Devi is considered by India to be the mastermind in this case.
Kim Devi was tried in Indian courts for years. A Danish court has now ruled that handing over Kim Davy to India would be a violation of Denmark’s extradition laws because Kim Davy could be held in India in a manner that violates EU standards and human rights conventions. does not correspond to
Anders Reichendorff, the public prosecutor who nominated Kim Davy for extradition to India last year, says it is unclear whether the decision will be appealed.
Kim Davie’s lawyer Jonas Christopherson says that the guarantees provided by India are not effective. Negotiations between India and the Public Prosecutor have been going on for 6 years regarding the security of Kim Devi. Now the Danish court has said that due to security concerns Kim Devi cannot be extradited to India.
Kim Devi had admitted in a court that he was aboard the cargo plane that dropped weapons for members of the Anand Marg rebel movement in West Bengal. The shipment dropped from the Latvian plane included hundreds of Kalashnikovs, anti-tank grenades, rocket launchers and 25,000 rounds of ammunition. The planes of the Indian Air Force intercepted this cargo plane and landed it in India.
The Latvian aircraft was being flown by a five-member crew led by former British pilot Peter Blaich. Blech became an arms dealer after retirement. The Indian Air Force shot down this aircraft on December 22, 1995. Five crew members on board the plane were arrested and charged.
Kim Davy had managed to evade capture. He later said he bribed officials at the airport and fled to Nepal. Later he reached Denmark. In a statement, Devi said that the purpose of the arms shipment was to protect Anand Mark members from the communist government of West Bengal.
Kim Davey and David Bleach also alleged that the central government of India was aware of the weapons drop program and wanted to topple the communist government of West Bengal.
