He is the fourth police officer to be taken into custody in connection with the encounter. Chudasama is an accused of conspiring to kill Sohrabuddin.

Sohrabuddin was allegedly killed by the Gujarat police, with the help of their Andhra Pradesh counterparts, in November 2005. The police claimed that Sohrabuddin was planning to kill Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Then Deputy Inspector General D.G. Vanzara, Rajkumar Pandian of the Gujarat cadre and Dinesh M.N. of the Rajasthan cadre, along with 11 other policemen, are already behind bars in connection with the case.
