In a charge sheet, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has narrated that Sadik Jamal was confined in the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) office at Shahibaug for more than a week before he was killed in cold-blood in a staged encounter by DCB cops on the intervening night of January 12 and 13, 2003.

CBI is investigating the case by an order of the Gujarat high court and last week it had filed its first chargesheet, which was handed over to the seven accused cops on Saturday.

The CBI recently arrested then police inspectors JG Parmar, IA Saiyad, Tarun Barot, GH Gohil and three other cops in connection with the case.

The agency, however, has not shown any motive behind the killing of Sadik, a petty criminal who was working as house help with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s aide, Tariq Parveen, in Mumbai and Dubai before his assassination.

The CBI has said Sadik was in the custody of the crime investigation unit (CIU) at Andheri in Mumbai before trigger-happy cop and accused in this case, the then DCB police inspector Tarun Barot, along with other staff brought him to Gujarat from Mumbai on January 4, 2003.

The CBI has mentioned that Sadik left his home after an altercation with his father over a criminal case registered against him. He met Parveen and started living with him as a house help. When Parveen shifted to Dubai, Sadik too went to Dubai to reside with Parveen. He, however, returned to Mumbai after a few months, in October, due to a fight with Parveen’s associates.

Meanwhile, the subsidiary intelligence bureau (SIB) generated a message that a Dawood aide had come from Dubai to kill right-wing leaders. On November 9, 2002, Jamal was arrested along with four other people in Bhavnagar by the local police in a gambling case.

Parveen’s brother Zahid took him to the officers of the Mumbai SIT where he was apprehended by the CIU sleuths from Andheri on December 19, 2002. The CBI claimed that, the CIU and SIB had stage-managed the joint operation and officers of both the agencies started interrogating him at the CIU office. Zamir Kazi, an accused, saw Jamal in the office.

Meanwhile, Barot and his staff had gone to Mumbai in the official police vehicle driven by Jiluji Chavda. They got custody of Jamal from the CIU office on January 3, 2003. They came to Ahmedabad and lodged Jamal in the office of the DCB at Shahibaug.

Jamal was then brought near Saibaba complex next to Galaxy cinema at Naroda and killed in a staged encounter by DCB sleuths. The CBI said the DCB had chosen this place as it was secluded area.
