No pressure to name Shah in Ishrat charge sheet: CBI

March 07, 2014 17:00

CBI Director Ranjit Sinha today said there was no pressure on him to implicate former Gujarat home minister Amit Shah in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case and the agency has filed the charge sheet on the basis of evidence which could withstand legal scrutiny.

"There are always perceptions. We also hear. We have to go by the evidence that we have. After all I cannot invent evidence. We have to find evidence and assess whether it is fit to file the charge sheet," Sinha said at a function. Sinha said the issue was also raised whether they were terrorists or not.
