New Delhi:
The CBI Thursday arrested a Gujarat police officer from Ahmedabad
Thursday for his involvement in the alleged staged Ishrat Jahan
shoot-out case of 2004, said an agency official.
G.L. Singhal, an Indian Police Service officer at present posted
as superintendent of police at state crime records bureau, was
arrested during a raid at his house and offices in Ahmedabad.
As
then assistant commissioner of police, crime branch team, Singhal
had led the team that gunned down the 19-year-old student and
three others in Ahmedabad.
The CBI, in its first information report (FIR), argued that
Singhal played an active role in the shoot-out which was later
found to be fake by the special investigation team (SIT)
constituted by the Gujarat High Court.
Ishrat along with three others - Javed Sheikh, Zeeshan Johar and
Amjad Ali Rana - was killed by a team of Ahmedabad city crime
branch officers on a stretch of empty road between Ahmedabad and
Gandhinagar on June 15, 2004. They planned to assassinate Chief
Minister Narendra Modi, police then claimed.
After her mother complained about the alleged fake shoot-out, the
state high court constituted an SIT which concluded that gunfight
was faked. Following the SIT report, the court handed over the
matter to the CBI.
