Ahmadabad, Dec 24: Is the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under Narndra Modi-led NDA government trying to close the fake encounter cases of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and others, who were cold-bloodedly murdered by Gujarat police during the tenure of Mr Modi as Gujarat chief minister?
Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Jethusingh Solanki and police constables, Kanjibhai Kutchi, Vinodkumar Limbachiya, Kiransingh Chauhan, Karansingh Sisodiya, secured bail on surety of Rs 15,000 each.
With this, all 38 police officials who were accused in the case, have secured bail.
The same CBI court had heard the discharge plea of BJP president Amit Shah who was arraigned as an accused for orchestrating the encounters. After listening to the arguments of both Shah and the prosecution, the Court reserved its order on his plea for December 30.
The prosecution had earlier said that the five were part of the team escorting Prajapati from Udaipur to Ahmedabad, where he was allegedly killed in an encounter.
CBI had earlier said that Sheikh and his wife Kauser Bi were abducted by Gujarat's Anti-Terrorism Squad when they were on way from Hyderabad to Sangli in Maharashtra and killed in an alleged fake encounter near Gandhinagar in November 2005.
Prajapati, a key witness in the alleged fake encounter of Sheikh, was killed by police at Chapri village, Banaskantha district of Gujarat, in December 2006.
Advocate Sachin Pawar, representing eight of the accused including the five police officials who secured bail argued that the five were merely acting upon the orders of their senior, Ashish Pandya.
Pandya, accused of firing at Prajapati was released on bail earlier this month, by the Bombay High Court.
Arrested in May 2010, Pawar, argued that they have been behind bars for over four years now and the trial has not yet commenced.
œSeveral of the co-accused with a more direct and serious role have been granted bail by various courts, Pawar argued.
He further argued that there were various discrepancies in the way and manner in which the case was investigated as there was no direct evidence for the conspiracy.
