Sohrabuddin case: Court disallows two cops’ voice test
January 5th, 2011 - 10:30 pm ICT by IANSAhmedabad, Jan 5 (IANS) A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here Wednesday quashed a magistrate’s order allowing the probe agency to conduct voice test on two accused policemen in the 2005 Sohrabuddin Sheikh staged shootout case.Special Court Judge G.K. Upadhayay set aside the order that allowed the CBI to conduct voice test on former deputy commissioner of police (crime branch) Abhay Chudasama and another policeman N.V. Chauhan.
Magistrate A.Y. Dave had granted the CBI permission to take voice samples of Chudasama, Chauhan.
Chudasama’s advocate Rohit Verma said the court allowed their revision application.
He cited a Gujarat High Court order on their application and argued that the voice test was not necessary at this stage of the investigation.
The magistrate had also allowed the CBI to collect voice sample of N.K. Amin, another police official accused in the staged shoot out case who wishes to turn approver.
Amin had recorded his conversation with Chauhan which revealed the entire plot of the staged shootout. The sting tapes were presented as evidence before the trial court.
Sheikh was gunned down Nov 26, 2005, and his wife, missing without a trace since then, is believed to have died under mysterious circumstances a few days later.
