CBI summons IPS officer Johri in Sohrabuddin case

Zeenews Bureau

Gandhinagar: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday summoned Geetha Johri, the first woman IPS officer of Gujarat, by Aug 10 for questioning in connection with the 2005 killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in a staged shootout.

Johri was a part of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by RK Raghavan to probe the case.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has been accused of killing Sohrabuddin Sheikh on grounds that he was a Lashkar-e-Toiba operative near Ahmedabad in a staged shootout Nov 26, 2005. His wife Kauser-Bi had also been missing since then.

CBI grills Shah for second day The CBI Thursday grilled former Gujarat minister Amit Shah inside the Sabarmati Central Jail for the second day in connection with the fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh.

A four-member team of the Central agency is questioning Shah, CBI sources said here.

The sources said Shah was "not cooperating” with the investigation despite an assurance to this effect given by his lawyers before the court.

The BJP leader, facing murder, kidnapping and extortion charges, among others, has been lodged in the jail after his arrest on Sunday last.

The entire proceeding is being recorded on audio and video tape.

Yesterday, a CBI team led by Chief Investigating Officer Amitabh Thakur questioned Shah, a key aide of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, for over four hours.

the well known ``criminalization bureau of indra gandhi`s``times is still functioning the same way at present under her dynasty ruled congress and is focusing all its attention,money and energy to incriminate bjp stalwarts to pull the rug under their feet and dislodge bjp govt in guj by making a hero of the gangster-sorabudin and faking evidence in the so-called fake encounter? this very cbi has dumped many cases including the one against lalu`s fodderscam case.what happened in lalu`s said case as also cases against tytler etc? except for hunting guj cbi seems to have no other assignments left over.

this is an attempt by congress to destabilize and eliminate the opposition and gain power in opposition ruled states. absolute misuse of power and clear pseudo secularism.

there are no cbi investigations or just nominal investigations in cases involving congress ruled states and congress people. there are scores of state sponsored fake encounters in congress ruled states that need to be probed.

if hindus don`t wake up and rout the congress under foreign rule there may be a day where hindus will be reduced to second grade citizens and have to live like refugees.
