Ahmedabad - The CBI on Saturday took custody of former minister Amit
Shah after the Gujarat High Court accepted the agency's plea for his
two-day remand in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
The central investigating agency team accompanied by doctors reached
the Sabarmati jail here early this morning and took Shah into custody
after a routine medical check up.
The High Court had yesterday, setting aside a lower court order,
remanded the former Minister of State for Home in two-day CBI
custody, beginning on Saturday and rejected a plea for videography of
his questioning.
Before giving Shah's custody to CBI, Justice Akil Kureshi had noted
that since investigation in the case was on, it would not be
appropriate to elaborate or give an extensive observation in the
matter.
After the order was read out, one of Shah's lawyers, Mahesh
Jethmalani had sought videography of the 46-year-old BJP leader's
interrogation. CBI counsel K T S Tulsi had opposed the plea, saying
"it was a waste of time".
Shah's lawyers had also sought a stay on the order to approach a
higher court. However, both requests were rejected.
In its petition, CBI had sought quashing of the August 4 order of
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate AY Dave rejecting the plea for
remand of Shah, arrested on July 25.
Enumerating the grounds for Shah's remand, Tulsi had said that the
former minister was the "kingpin" of the entire conspiracy leading to
the encounter of Sohrabuddin, killing of his wife Kausar Bi and also
Tulsi Prajapati, a key witness.
He contended that CBI had statements of witnesses, who said it was on
Shah's orders that Kausar Bi and Prajapati were eliminated by other
accused in the case.
Tulsi said CBI had got details of the phone call records from Gujarat
CID, which was probing the case before it was transferred to CBI by
the Supreme Court in January this year. Besides Shah, other accused
in the case include suspended IPS officers D G Vanzara, Rajkumar
Pandiyan and M N Dinesh.
