Gandhinagar:
The Gujarat Government on Thursday set up a three members committee
to probe the killing of Ishrat Jahan in an alleged fake encounter.
The Modi Government took the decision following the instructions
given by the Gujarat High Court.
Earlier, on August 8
Justice Kalpesh Jhavari had asked the State Government to form a
probe team while hearing the petition filed by Ishrat Jahan's
mother, Shamima Kausar, seeking an investigation by the Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and also seeking compensation.
The probe panel comprises Additional Director General of Police (ADGP)
Pramod Kumar, Inspector General (IG) Mohan Jha and Deputy Inspector
General (DIG) J K Bhat. The state cabinet has asked the panel to
submit its report within six months.
Ishrat
and her husband and two other associates were allegedly gunned down
in June 2004 after they were suspected of being agents of the
Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Ishrat, 19 was studying an undergraduate
science course at a college in Mumbai.
It is alleged that top police officials D.G.Vanzara, DIG, Border
Range, Rajkumar Pandiyan SP Intelligence Bureau and Dinesh M. N. SP
Alwar, Rajasthan were involved in the shoot out.
The Gujarat police had alleged that Ishrat and her three companions
were planning to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Ishrat's family has refuted the police version.
