September 04, 2012 22:06

Former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, a close aide of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, was among 20 people named by the CBI in its charge sheet in the Tulsi Prajapati fake encounter case for allegedly entering into criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence.

Former state police chief P C Pande, IPS officers O P Mathur, D G Vanzara and Geetha Johri and Dy SP R K Patel were also also named in the charge sheet submitted in the court of judicial magistrate D R Joshi at Danta in Banaskantha district.

The three senior IPS officers named in the charge sheet included two who retired.

The charge sheet, however, was not taken on record by the court due to question of jurisdiction.

The court will decide in the matter after conducting hearing next Monday.
