Mumbai: The CBI has registered a case against Gujarat Police officials to probe the alleged fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, claimed to be a gangster, and his wife Kausarbi in 2005.
The CBI took up the case on directions of the Supreme Court which came down heavily on the Gujarat Government for failing to conduct impartial investigations and attempting to "mislead" the apex court by filing conflicting action taken reports (ATRs).
CBI registered a case on Monday against Gujarat Police officials and others under various sections of IPC including criminal conspiracy, murder and kidnapping, CBI sources said.
A team will arrive in Ahmedabad on Wednesday to take over the case property from the Gujarat CID department which had filed a chargesheet against 14 police officials including DIG D G Vanzara and IPS officers Rajkumar Pandyan and Dinesh Kumar, the sources said.
