What was AP police's motive in helping Guj cops? SC
SC-ENCOUNTER
New Delhi, Sept 16 (PTI) The Supreme Court of India
Wednesday wanted to know what could be the motive of the
police of Andhra Pradesh (southern state) in helping its
Gujarat counterparts to carry out the encounter killings of
alleged gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh, his wife Kauser Bi and
another person.
"What was the motive of the Andhra Pradesh police to
join the conspiracy? What could have actuated their action
when it was not officially done?" a bench of Justices Tarun
Chatterjee and Aftab Alam asked Solicitor General Gopal
Subramaniam who is acting as an amicus curaie (friend of the
court) in the matter.
The bench posed the query in response to the
allegation by Subramaniam that the Andhra Pradesh (AP) police
had given logistic support to the Gujarat police in carrying
out the killings.
The apex court's query assumes significance since AP
is ruled by Congress party and Gujarat by Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP).
Sohrabuddin, along with his wife Kauser Bi and their
friend Tulsiram Prajapati, was picked in a joint operation by
the police of Gujarat (western state) and Andhra Pradesh from
a bus on their way from Hyderabad to Sangli in Maharashtra on
Novemeber 22, 2005. Besides the AP police, the role of the
Rajasthan police also figured during the investigations
conducted so far into the killings.
The amicus, who sought transfer of the investigations
to an independent investigating agency like Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) or the Special Investigation Team (SIT),
submitted that the AP police had a definite role in extending
help to the Gujarat police in carrying out the killings.
