Sohrabuddin case: Geeta Johri appears before CBI | Senior Gujarat Police officer Geeta Johri on Thursday appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning in connection with the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case. Johri reached the CBI
office in the old secretariat campus here. The investigating agency had summoned
Johri, who is currently posted as Commissioner of Rajkot, to appear on August
10, but she had then requested for more time as she had returned from a long leave.
In her request, Johri had said that since she has joined after a break she needed
time to study the case. The CBI had already questioned Johri twice before. Johri,
posted with CID (crime) between 2007 and 2009, was the supervising officer of
the fake encounter probe. The ADGP is accused of conducting inadequate investigations.
Former state DGP, P C Pande was also summoned by the CBI, in the same case but
he has not been able to appear before the agency as he was out of station. After
taking over the case from Gujarat CID in January, the CBI has arrested former
Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah, currently lodged in Sabarmati Central jail, along
with other 15 accused cops in connection with the case. Sohrabuddin and his wife
Kausar Bi were killed in an alleged fake encounter in 2005. |
