Seeking truth, victim number two in Ishrat Jahan case

The Hindu  

More than 11 years after the incident, the encounter involving Ishrat Jahan and three others is again in the news, courtesy >David Headley’s sensational claims about her links with Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT. When the Gujarat government, the police, and the IB officials named in the case realised that it would be impossible to establish that the encounter was genuine, they focused their energies on the antecedents of the deceased, particularly Ishrat Jahan, and their links with terror outfits. The theories of the Gujarat Police have not withstood judicial scrutiny in two most important cases: The Akshardham temple attack case and BJP leader Haren Pandya’s assassination. The same set of policemen — Mr. Vanzara and Mr. Singhal — who are accused in the Ishrat Jahan case had probed the Akshardham case, in which the Supreme Court acquitted the accused slamming the Gujarat Police. In the case of BJP leader Haren Pandya’s assassination, the Gujarat High Court acquitted the accused slamming the CBI for a “botched up and blinkered probe that left much to be desired”.
