Ahmedabad, Jul 23 (PTI) CBI today filed a chargesheet in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter killing case naming Gujarat Minister of State for Home Amit Shah as one of the accused and charged him with murder, kidnapping and extortion. The chargesheet filed in the court of Magistrate A Y Dave also said Sohrabuddin was killed because he had terrorised the marble traders in Rajasthan. It named Shah as an accused along with four IPS officers DIG D G Vanzara, SPs Rajkumar Pandian and M N Dinesh and DCP Abhay Chudasama, besides DSPs M L Parmar and N K Amin among others. The volumnious chargsheet has been filed against 12 cops under IPC Sections 384 (extortion), 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of valuable evidence of offence) in the fake encounter of Sohrabbuddin and killing of his wife in November 2005. The accused have also been charged under sections 120-B(conspiracy) 342 (wrongful confinement), 364 (kidnapping and abducting to murder), 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent and wrongfully confine a person) and section 368 (keeping in confinement kidnapped or abducted person). Three persons who have been shown as accused and are yet to be arrested include Shah, Yashpal Chudasma, Chairman, ADC Bank and Ajay Patel, Director, ADC Bank. According to the chargesheet, "elimination of Sohrabuddin was being used for extortion by the accused to establish an element of fear in the minds of the businessmen and others." There was rivalry between Sohrabuddin and Hamid Lala gangs in the areas of Rajsamand, Nathdwara and Udaipur in Rajasthan known for marble mining trade, the chargesheet said. Taking advantage of the same, the "accused from Gujarat and Rajasthan entered into a criminal conspiracy to eliminate Sohrabuddin." The motive for the accused persons of Rajasthan police to participate in the conspiracy to eliminate Sohrabuddin was the activities of Sohrab in terrorising Rajasthan marble lobby, the chargesheet said. Amit Shah entrusted the job to Vanzara, Pandian and Chudasama, it said. While Sohrabuddin and his wife were in illegal custody of ATS Gujarat Police, Vanzara was in constant touch over telephone with Shah and was continuously seeking instructions, it said, adding instructions for killing of Kausarbi were also given by Shah to Vanzara. Investigation also revealed that Shah also used the Sohrabuddin encounter for threatening one Zahid Kadri, to withdraw petition filed against police in lower court and subsequently a writ petition filed in the High Court of Gujarat or he could also meet the same fate as Sohrabuddin.
