AHMEDABAD: The Ishrat Jahan encounter case is springing surprises, much like the Sohrabuddin and Tulsiram fake encounters -- under investigation of CBI and CID respectively.
The Ishrat case is now under trial at Gujarat High Court. The court is hearing the case in connection with a petition filed by Ishrat's mother Shamima Kausar in Supreme Court. Kausar has raised questions over the veracity of the encounter and demanded a CBI probe.
The latest twist in the tale is a ballistic report of the Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS) in Gandhinagar. The report says that of the seven weapons submitted by the high court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) purportedly used by the cops involved in the encounter, two had not been used in the incident.
