Ahmedabad: A special court has rejected the CBI's plea for a five-day custody of former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin Seikh encounter case on Monday. Shah will remain in judicial custody for now till his bail application is heard on August 11.
The plea was rejected by special Judge A.I. Raval. The CBI had July 23 produced a 30,000 page chargesheet and accused Shah of murder, abduction and conspiracy in the staged shootout case.
Shah has been in judicial custody since July 25 when he surrendered. The court had reserved its order on Monday on the CBI plea seeking Shah's remand after it failed to extract information in its three-day questioning of him in the Sabarmati Central Jail.
The CBI's counsel claimed that the agency has to recover important documents related to the case from Shah. Meanwhile, Amit Shah's troubles only seem to be increasing. One of the victims of the fake encounter Tulsi Parajapati's mother has claimed that her son had complained of harassment by Shah and IPS officer Vanzara.
"He had told me once that there were three people who were harassing him," said Prajapati's mother, adding "he named Vanzara and Home minister Amit Shah."
