The Gujarat government has handed over the investigation into the Ishrat Jehan fake encounter case to the CBI and has asked the SIT to register a fresh FIR. SIT Chairman RR Verma has been directed to file a fresh FIR within a span of two weeks and handover the entire report to the CBI.

At present, the Special Investigation Team, the CBI and the National investigation Agency are investigating the case.

The victim's family favours an SIT probe. An FIR may also be filed in the case. The CBI was also directed to form a team of officials to investigate the case that will be headed by an officer of the rank of DIG, says a CNN IBN report.

The court also said that NIA cannot be entrusted with the investigation because it is beyond the charter of NIA and this case cannot be termed as terrorist act after the SIT report.
