A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking its direction to the CBI to take steps for securing suspended Gujarat police officer D.G. Vanzara’s “confession” after his allegation against the Narendra Modi government.
The petition, filed by two advocates, alleged that the content of the letter written by the IPS officer “clearly goes on to show in great detail the manner in which an encounter is carried out by state government”.
“Direct CBI to take steps for securing the confession of Mr Vanzara, who is one of the prime accused in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulshiram Prajapati encounter cases, before a judicial officer as per the provisions of CrPC and Indian Evidence Act so that the confession is legally admissible and cannot be retracted in judicial proceedings,” the petition said.
The petitioners, Sateesh Galla and S. Uday Kumar, contended that the statement of Mr Vanzara be recorded as it would have serious consequences for the cases.
