Ahmedabad, October 26: Former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, arrested in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, is threatening witnesses from inside jail, CBI counsel K T S Tulsi informed the high court today.
Opposing Shah’s bail plea in the court of Justice R H Shukla, Tulsi said the former minister of state for home was cocking a snook at the law as the entire state machinery was at his beck and call.
“Shah is dangerous even inside the jail as being a (former) minister of state for home, he thinks he has become so powerful that he can neutralise the Supreme Court,” Tulsi contended.
“If bail is granted to Shah there will be no hope of justice for the victims. Shah does not deserve bail,” he said.
Further hearing of Shah’s bail will continue tomorrow.
