Charge sheet by the CID in the case names DG Vanzara, Vipul Aggarwal and 14 other police officials as accused.
While the CBI is preparing to investigate the connection between the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsi Prajapati in fake encounters, the CID (crime) has given former minister of state for home Amit Shah a clean chit in the Tulsi Prajapati case.
In its charge sheet in the Tulsi Prajapati fake encounter case submitted on Friday in the first class judicial magistrate court, Danta, the CID (crime) has made suspended IPS officers DG Vanzara and Vipul Aggarwal along with 14 other police officials as the accused.
CID (crime) has even recorded the statement of IPS officer Rajnesh Rai who was the former investigating officer of the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. But it has failed to mention the exact motive behind Prajapati's murder.
Investigating officer of the case, RK Patel, said that the probe had led them to believe that Prajapati was killed at the behest of Vanzara. He will be interrogated in this connection, Patel said.
A supplementary charge sheet will be submitted in the case against Vanzara and Dinesh MN, the Rajasthan cadre IPS officer.
The two unidentified people who took Prajapati to the scene of crime in a car have been declared as absconders.
The CID has also mentioned another IPS officer, Rajkumar Pandiyan, as one of the accused in the case and may seek his custody from Sabarmati jail for interrogation. Four policemen from Rajasthan — Narayansingh Chauhan, Dalpatsingh Khumansingh, Kartarsingh Jat and Yuddhvirsingh Rajput — have been declared as absconders.
Prajapati was killed on December 26, 2006 by an SOG team of Banaskantha's crime branch. The CID had also raised some questions about deputy superintendent of police, Mayur Chavda, being sent to the place of encounter. The chargesheet says Aggarwal had send Chavda to the place.
The accused have been charged with murder, conspiracy, possession of illegal arms, preparing fake documents and destroying evidences.
