'Ishrat encounter a cold-blooded murder', probe report
Tuesday, September 08, 2009 11:06:40 AM,
Agencies |
Ahmedabad:
In yet another
setback to the Narendra Modi government, the Ahmedabad metropolitan
magistrate, S.P. Tamang, has ruled that the June 2004 killing of
Ishrat Jahan and three others was a case of “fake encounter.”
In his 252-page, hand-written
report, Tamang has named the then “encounter specialist” of the
Gujarat police, D.G. Vanzara, among others, accused in the
“cold-blooded murder” of the teenaged girl and the three others.
Vanzara and several other policemen are already in jail in
connection with the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, which the
government confessed before the Supreme Court was a case of “fake
encounter.”
In the report, the judge stated that the policemen killed Ishrat
Jahan, Javed Ghulam Sheikh alias Pranesh Kumar Pillai, Amjad Ali
Akbar Ali Rana alias Rajkumar and Jisan Johar Abdul Gani alias
Janbaaz in cold blood to get public recognition, promotion and
appreciation from the chief minister.
Tamang said Ishrat Jahan was well-educated and came from a good
family. “She conducted tuitions and worked hard to support her
family. Despite being a good citizen, she was declared a terrorist
and killed in an encounter,” the report stated.
The report damned the then police commissioner K R Kaushik
and the then joint police commissioner (Crime Branch) P P Pande. It
also slammed D G Vanzara, G L Singhal and N K Amin who were
additional police commissioner (Crime Branch), ACP (Crime Branch)
and ACP (Crime Branch) respectively during that time.
The report stated, “The policemen illegally detained
Ishrat Jahan and three others in Mumbai on June 12, 2004. They hid
the four at a city farmhouse on June 13 and 14. Early on June 15,
they killed the four people near Sardarnagar-Kotarpur.
“Rigor mortis had set completely in Ishrat Jahan’s body. The
contents of her stomach showed that food had been digested properly.
The four died due to shock and haemmorhage caused by police
bullets. The deaths were planned and committed in cold blood. The
policemen are responsible for Ishrat Jahan’s death.”
After the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, this is the
second case where an encounter involving Gujarat police during
Narendra Modi rule is being probed again. Following the inquiry
report, the court can order the arrest of the guilty policemen on an
appeal by Ishrat’s family. Also top government functionaries can be
made party to the case.
Last month, the Gujarat High Court had formed a three-member
committee headed by an officer of the rank of Additional Director
General of Police (ADGP) to investigate the encounter. This was done
following a petition by Ishrat’s mother Shameema, who alleged her
daughter was killed in a fake encounter by Gujarat police.
Advocate Mukul Sinha, who represents Shameema, said, “The
three-member panel will have to take the report into consideration
while conducting their inquiry. Another writ filed by Pillai’s
father Gopinath at High Court is up for hearing on Tuesday.”
