Amit Shah hand in Tulsi killing?

CBI told the Gujarat high court on Friday that it had evidence indicating former minister of state for home Amit Shah’s involvement in the killing of Tulsi Prajapati as well.

Shah is already facing charges of killing Sohrabuddin Sheikh and wife Kausarbi in fake encounters.

CBI also said documents pertaining to the communication in state CID about the interrogation of Prajapati had gone missing.

According to CBI, Prajapati was witness to the abduction of Sohrabuddin and Kausarbi and was killed in a staged encounter. KTS Tulsi, the counsel for CBI, argued, “There is evidence to the effect that Prajapati and Kausarbi were killed on the instructions of the minister [Shah] as they were witness to the event of kidnapping and killing of Sohrabuddin.”

Meanwhile, Gujarat high court on Friday granted CBI two days’ custody of Shah. The minister, who was arrested on July 25 in the Soharabuddin fake encounter case, is close to Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. Though CBI had sought a  10-day remand, justice Akil Qureshi granted only two days. The court also rejected the plea for videographing his questioning.
