New Delhi: In a
setback to the Gujarat government, the Supreme Court Friday
ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the 2006
killing of Tulsiram Prajapati, a witness in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh
staged shootout case.
An apex court bench of Justice P. Sathasivam and Justice B.S.
Chauhan said the CBI will complete investigations within six
months.
The court has directed the Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan
governments to cooperate with the investigating agency. It said
the investigation by the Gujarat Police was not acceptable as the
case involved high-ranking police officials of the state.
Tulsiram Prajapati was killed Dec 28, 2006 in an alleged police
shootout. He was allegedly gunned down as he was believed to be a
key witness in the 2005 abduction and killing of Sheikh.
