Jaipur: Suspended IPS officer AK Jain, an
accused in Dara Singh fake encounter case, was on Wednesday remanded
to 14 days in CBI custody.
Jain was produced before a special CBI court where the
magistrate remanded him to the agency`s custody.
An IPS officer of 1978 batch, Jain was absconding and
surrendered before the court here on February 27 and was under
judicial custody since then.
59-year-old Jain was absconding since the CBI filed a
charge sheet against him in June last year accusing him of
masterminding the fake encounter of Singh when Jain was
heading the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan
Police.
The alleged encounter took place in Ranjendra Prasad
Nagar area on the outskirts of the city on October 23, 2006.
His widow had challenged the encounter as fake following
which Supreme Court had ordered a CBI inquiry in the case.
