Gujarat, Rajasthan cops slapped with Prajapati murder case
April 29th, 2011 - 9:01 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, April 29 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation Friday registered a case against Gujarat and Rajasthan police officials in the Tulsi Prajapati murder case, an official said.
The development comes in the wake of a Supreme Court order of April 8 on a writ petition filed by Narmada Rai, mother of Prajapati.
The case has been registered against police officials of Gujarat and Rajasthan - whose identities have not been revealed - for their alleged involvement in the criminal conspiracy of wrongful restraint, confinement, abduction and murder of Prajapati and “causing disappearance” of evidence in the matter.
The official said the apex court order and Narmada Rai’s petition form the basis of the CBI first information report in the case (BSI/S/2011/0003).
The investigations into the matter will be carried out by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) which had earlier probed the 2005 Sohrabuddin fake shootout case, the official said.
Prajapati, a close aide of Sohrabuddin, an alleged extortionist and gangster, was killed in an alleged shootout near Chapri village in Banaskantha district on Dec 28, 2006.
