Gandhinagar: Suspended Gujarat official Pradeep Sharma has written to the apex
court appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the 2002
riots, requesting to be allowed to depose on information received
from the chief minister's office during the period.
In a letter to SIT chief R.K. Raghavan, Indian Administrative
Service (IAS) officer Sharma contended that he had been called up
by the chief minister's office and asked to tell his brother
Kuldip Sharma, an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, "that he
should abstain from taking any proactive measures in favour of
minorities".
Pradeep Sharma, who is at present behind the bars for his
involvement in an alleged land scam case, was posted as a
municipal commissioner in 2002 while his brother Kuldip Sharma was
the Inspector General of Ahmedabad Range.
In his letter, he requested that he be allowed to depose before
the SIT where he could reveal "the exact nature of the
conversation and the name of the officer who had made the call".
Now an additional director general of police officer on central
deputation, Kuldip Sharma had approached the Central
Administrative Tribunal (CAT) after his annual confidential
reports (ACRs) for four years were downgraded in one day. The CAT
upgraded the ACRs while taking the government to task for
victimising him.
