Ahmedabad: Ishrat
Jahan, a Mumbai-based college girl, was killed in a police
shootout along with three men in Ahmedabad in 2004 by police who
alleged they were LeT militants, a claim rubbished Monday by
court-appointed investigators.
Following is the timeline of the case that has seen families of
the deceased fighting for over seven years for justice.
June 15, 2004: Gujarat Police claimed they had killed Jahan and
three others on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. They said the four
were members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba on a mission to
kill Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
September 2009: Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate S.P. Tamang
calls the shootout fake.
August 2010: Gujarat High Court asks the Supreme Court-appointed
special investigation team (SIT) to take up the case.
September 2010: The high court constitutes a new SIT after the
Supreme Court's SIT expressed its inability to undertake the
probe.
November 2010: The Supreme Court rejects the Gujarat government's
plea challenging the high court order to form the new SIT.
December 2010: Three-member SIT begins investigation in the case
and starts recording statements of the witnesses, police officials
involved.
Nov 21, 2011: SIT tells the Court that the shootout was staged.
The court ordered that a fresh complaint needs to be filed against
those involved in the fake shootout under Section 302 that covers
death penalty for the accused.
