A three-member Special Investigation Team appointed by the Gujarat High Court for a fresh probe into the alleged fake encounter killing of Ishrat Jahan and three others on the outskirts of Ahmedabad in June, 2004, has began its work.
The team, headed by Delhi Joint Commissioner of Police Karnail Singh and includes senior IPS officers of the Gujarat cadre Mohan Jha and Satish Verma, visited Kotarpur, near the Ahmedabad airport, where the alleged encounter took place.
The team also studied the route the Gujarat police claimed that the alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba “activists” took before they were gunned down by a team of the Anti-Terrorism Squad.
