The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has sought an extension of one month to complete probe in the Tulsiram Prajapati encounter case stating that the investigation was on the verge of completion and it needs some more time to fill in some missing gaps.
The CBI filed an affidavit with the Supreme Court in this regard. The CBI could file a charge sheet before the magisterial court in Ahmedabad within a month. If approved, this will be the fourth extension.
The SC transferred investigation of this case to CBI in April last year asking it to complete the probe within six months. The previous term ended on May 28. In its charge sheet filed in 2010 in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case; CBI claimed that Prajapati was gunned down by Gujarat and Rajasthan cops because he was an eyewitness to abduction of Sheikh and his wife Kauserbi in November 2005. CBI has been claiming that Tulsiram was the third person travelling with the couple in the Sangli-bound bus from Hyderabad. The claim contradicts Gujarat police theory that the third person was Andhra Pradesh’s Kalimuddin.Â
During the last extended period of investigation, the CBI questioned a couple of IPS officers from Andhra Pradesh. The investigators in this case had even sent arrest proposals to the CBI headquarters for seven persons a couple of months ago, but no further action seems to have taken place in this regard.
