Former police officer N K Amin, an accused in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, on July 26 turned an approver and moved court. The move could spell more trouble for Gujarat’s jailed former minister and key accused Amit Shah. Amin, a former ex-deputy superintendent of police, also sought pardon while offering to become an approver. Notice was issued to CBI on Amin’s application. Amin also pleaded to be shifted out of Sabarmati jail citing threat to his life. Shah, Amin and the other 13 accused face charges of criminal conspiracy, murder, kidnapping and extortion in connection with the killing of alleged gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh in a fake encounter on November 26, 2005.
