July 03, 2013 19:09

The lawyer of one of the four people killed in a police encounter in the Ishrat Jahan case, which the CBI established as fake today, expressed surprise that Rajinder Kumar, a Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau, was not named in its first chargesheet itself.

Mukul Sinha, lawyer for Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, alleged that there was political pressure behind Kumar not being made an accused in the first chargesheet submitted in the 2004 Ishar Jahan encounter case.

"I am surprised his (Kumar) name was not there," he added.
