Click to play videoNew Delhi: The fact that the three arrested IPS officers may have killed encounter victim Sohrabudeen Sheikh's wife as well has caused an uproar in Parliament.
MPs are protesting in Delhi after the startling submission by the Gujarat government to the Supreme Court Sheikh's wife, Kausar Bi, was untraceable and may have been killed as well.
Congress and RJD MPs demanded have a CBI probe. BJP ally, JD(U) and even the Bahujan Samaj Party have asked for a thorough inquiry into fake encounters wherever they take place in the country.
Even PDP MPs have demanded that encounters in Kashmir be investigated.
CNN-IBN spoke to her brother Raees in Ujjain. He says that the police haven't given him any information about his sister.
The family alleges, she was also killed by police, since she was an eyewitness to the killing of her husband.
"She was innocent and was murdered. The state police should have informed me. Even her dead body wasn't handed over to me. I want justice," says Kauser Bi's brother, Raees.
The Attorney General made a strong case for transferring the fake encounter case to the CBI. Orders on the case being transferred to CBI are likely to come on Monday.
Three IPS officers - former director of the Gujarat anti-terrorism squad, D G Vanjara, and SP of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Rajkumar Pandyan and Rajasthan ATS', Dinesh Kumar - who carried out the operation, were arrested on Tuesday.
The three were allegedly involved in killing Sohrabuddin Sheikh, who they falsely claimed was a Lashkar-e-Toiba operative and who they said was on a mission to kill Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi.
Sohrabuddin was traveling with his wife from Hyderabad to Sangli in an inter-state bus in Maharashtra, when the Gujarat ATS and the Rajasthan STF picked them up along with a third unidentified man.
Late last month, the Gujarat government had admitted in the Apex Court that it was a fake encounter.
However, Rajasthan has been protesting the arrest of MN Dinesh in the case.
The UPA Government (with the support of the Left) has said that it favours a CBI probe. The statement from the Government came a day after reports alleged that Gujarat Home Minister, Amit Shah, had tried to scuttle the inquiry.
