Javadekar denies allegations in fake encounter case, says evidence flimsy

September 03, 2013 17:17

BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on Tuesday denied allegations levelled against him in a Public Interest Litigation filed by a journalist, which accuses him of being caught on camera discussing how to protect former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah in connection with the Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case of 2006, and added that the evidence produced was doctored.

"Congress has charged and demanded a CBI probe based on an unauthenticated and a probably doctored CD. It is the bankruptcy of the Congress to depend on such flimsy evidences. We completely deny having anything to do with obstructing the judicial process,' Javadekar said.
