The CID (crime) Gujarat on August 10 booked its former boss and senior IPS officer Kuldip Sharma for the encounter killing of four gangsters when he was Kutch SP in 1984. The move is being seen as a score against Sharma, who is believed to be guiding the CBI in its probe into the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. When Sharma was heading the CID (crime) in 2005, probe by the agency’s economic offences cell in the Madhavpura Mercantile Cooperative Bank scam, had revealed that prime accused Ketan Parekh had defaulted after borrowing Rs 1,300 crore from the bank. The CID arrested him, but he had got out on bail. Then Sharma had written to state chief secretary seeking to prosecute then minister of state for home Amit Shah who he charged of having taken Rs 2.5 crore for helping Parekh. Sharma attached proof of Shah and Parekh having struck a deal in his letter to the CS. This is said to be the beginning of friction between Sharma and Modi government.
