Ahmedabad, August 13: Arrested police officer D G Vanzara and seven others today filed an affidavit in a CBI court raising objections against another accused in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter killing case N K Amin turning an approver.
In a written reply to Amin’s request for turning approver and recording his confession, eight other accused in the case, including Vanzara, claimed since Amin was at one point of time the investigating officer in the case, he should be treated as an accused and not be made a prosecution witness and granted pardon by the court.
“As an investigation officer, Amin had received the investigation papers along with the case diary of this case on March 15, 2007, and the same were in his possession for a considerable period of time,” the affidavit filed in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate A Y Dave stated.
