Ishrat case: SIT submits status report to Gujarat HC
April 20th, 2011 - 6:07 pm ICT by ANI
Ahmedabad, Apr 20 (ANI): The special investigation team (SIT), which is probing the fake encounter of 19-year-old Gujarat college girl Ishrat Jahan and three others, submitted its status report in the case to the Gujarat High Court on Wednesday.
The hearing in the case will be held tomorrow.
The SIT had earlier on April 5 submitted its progress report in the case to the Gujarat High Court.
The report was submitted before the division bench of Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari in a sealed cover.
The court had in January directed the new SIT probe team headed by Karnal Singh, a Joint Commissioner of Police in Delhi, to submit its progress report into the case every two months and update it about the status of investigation in the case.
Ishrat was gunned down by Gujarat police along with Javed Ghulam Sheikh alias Pranesh Kumar Pillai, Amjad Ali alias Rajkumar Akbar Ali Rana and Jisan Johar Abdul Gani in Ahmedabad on June 15, 2004.
The encounter was carried out by a team of Ahmedabad Crime Branch led by DIG D.G. Vanjara. The police alleged that all four were Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives involved in a plot to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
In August 2009, the Ahmedabad Metropolitan court ruled that the killing of Ishrat Jahan was a fake encounter. (ANI)
