CBI summons IPS officer Geeta Johri in Sohrabuddin case | The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday summoned Geetha Johri, the first woman IPS officer of Gujarat, in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. Johri, who was
the part of Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe
the case, has been asked to appear before the CBI on August 10. The CBI had already
questioned Johri twice before. According to television reports, the line of questioning
to Johri will be based on the allegations made by Vasant Solanki, the investigating
officer of the case. Earlier, the CBI has also summoned former Gujarat Director
General of Police (DGP) P C Pandey and asked him to appear before it on August
11. Pandey was DGP of Gujarat when the state CID was investigating the fake encounter
case. This is for the first time Pandey has been called for questioning by the
CBI . It had earlier called other IPS officers, including G C Raigar and O P Mathur.
Meanwhile, the CBI team is likely to seek permission from its headquarters to
question Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the case. The
investigating agency may want Modi to answer some questions in the Sohrabuddin
fake encounter case. The CBI wants to know if Modi was aware of the attempts being
made by top police officials to scuttle the probe. If Modi is summoned for questioning,
it will be for the second time this year. He was earlier questioned by a Special
Investigation Team in 2002 Gujarat riots case. Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausar
Bi were killed in an alleged fake encounter in 2005. |
