Ishrat fake encounter case: IB inputs were 'manufactured' in Gujarat http://timesofindia . indiatimes.com/ articleshow/ 6076968.cms<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/6076968.cms> TNN, Jun 22, 2010, 05.24am IST AHMEDABAD: The input from Central Intelligence Bureau that was claimed to have triggered the Ishrat Jahan encounter in 2004, may have been concocted. This line of probe has been taken up by the central IB which is now on a soul-searching mode. “All IB inputs given to Gujarat since 2001 are now under scrutiny. This is a fallout of the controversial affidavit filed by the central government in the HC in connection with the Ishrat Jahan case,” said sources in the IB. On June 15, 2004, Ishrat Jahan was killed along with her friend Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai and two Pakistanis — Zeeshan Johar and Amjadali Rana — in a police encounter that took place in Ahmedabad’s outskirts. Later, crime branch officials had claimed that the encounter had taken place on the basis of a tip-off received from the central IB. Now, the very tip-off is under question. Probe carried out by central IB officials so far has revealed: “First the Gujarat police would get hold of accused, like in the Ishrat case, then they would get together with IB officers to trigger a suitable intelligence input to justify their operation. The role played by central IB officers posted in Gujarat at that time period is now under scrutiny.” In 2009, Shamima Kausar, Ishrat’s mother, filed a petition in Gujarat High Court seeking a CBI inquiry into the matter. Then, Gujarat police told the court that this was a genuine encounter on the basis of an intelligence input from the central IB. Subsequently officers of Union home department too had filed an affidavit supporting the encounter. This had created a controversy and the central government found itself in the dock. Later, a second affidavit was filed in which the central government said that the input had been sent by central IB but the killings by Gujarat police could not be justified on this basis. The affidavit also recommended a CBI probe into the matter. After this hullabaloo, Union home ministry got the central IB to scrutinise all intelligence inputs sent to Gujarat police. During the probe, said sources, the intelligence officials learnt that some senior officials of Gujarat police and central IB were involved in triggering this suspicious tip-off. The IB officer, who was then posted in Gujarat, is now in Delhi. Heads may roll, once the investigations reach their logical end, said central IB sources -- You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole. -AMBEDKAR http://venukm.blogspot.com http://www.shelfari.com/kmvenuannur http://kmvenuannur.livejournal.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
