In a major blow to ruling BJP, CBI has named former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, a close aide of chief minister Narendra Modi, in its chargesheet among other 20 people, in the Tulsi Prajapati fake encounter case. Shah has been accused of criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence.
CBI had arrested Shah for his role in the Sheikh encounter case in 2010 and once again CBI has named him in the second fake encounter case of Prajapati. Prajapati, an eyewitness in the encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, was killed in a fake encounter allegedly by the Gujarat Police at Chhapri in Banaskantha district on December 28, 2006.
The matter will be taken up by the court on Monday. Presently Amit Shah is out on bail but t has been barred by the supreme court from entering Gujarat.
