Sohrabuddin case: BJP trying to rein in CBI?

A senior IPS officer and two senior IAS officers from Gujarat travelled to Delhi recently to meet some officials in the central government, allegedly in a bid to rein in the CBI, with who the state BJP is at loggerheads after it arrested suspended IPS officer Abhay Chudasama.

A senior IPS officer and the two senior IAS officers have reportedly intervened to prevent the possible arrest of a political leader in the state in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter and Kausar Bi's killing.

Sources said the CBI is getting closer to some influential people in the state, who were directly or indirectly connected either to Sohrabuddin's fake encounter or to killing Kausar Bi and disposing of her body.

The CBI has questioned a few IPS officers in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, who reportedly have revealed startling information relating to Sohrabuddin's fake encounter. The CBI had earlier indicated that two senior IPS officers — one each from Rajasthan and Gujarat — as well as two political leaders, one each from these states, are under its scanner.

No CBI official has revealed the names of any of the officers or the concerned leaders, but movement has been observed in the state government and some officers are trying to intervene in the case.

Sources said that the focus of the CBI investigation was mainly on the killing and disposing of the dead body of Kausar Bi, who was allegedly kidnapped, raped and killed, allegedly by some police officials of the state. But the scenario has now, reportedly, changed.
