The Central Bureau of Investigation, on 4 June, nabbed the already arrested Gujarat Police official DG Vanzara for his role in staged encounter of Ishrat Jahan in June 2004. Vanzara is currently in judicial custody in Mumbai for the fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh.
Meanwhile, former Home Minister of Rajasthan, Gulab Chand Kataria, on 4 June, appeared before a court in Mumbai over Sheikh’s encounter. The CBI has nominated him in its supplementary charge sheet and said he was the link between Mr.Patni and former Home Minister of Gujarat, Amit Shah. Sheikh had allegedly demanded ‘protection money’ of worth 24 crore from Patni and this is supposed to be the main factor of his killing.
