Mumbai, March 14: The CBI may approach the Supreme Court for directions to the Gujarat government after it declined to give details of the killing of a man believed to be an eyewitness in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter.
The CBI is mulling this move after it had approached the Gujarat government for details of the police encounter involving Tulsi Prajapati, an undertrial who was lodged at Udaipur jail.
The premier investigating agency has been directed by the Supreme Court to investigate into the fake encounter in which Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausarbi were killed in 2005.
According to the state police, Prajapati was killed when he tried to escape from the custody while being shifted back to Gujarat from Rajasthan after attending a court trial.
