New Delhi: Suspended IAS officer NK Amin on Friday moved the Supreme Court for quashing of charges against him in the 2004 Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. The apex court will hear the matter on Tuesday.
The CBI had arrested Amin on April 4, 2013 after his release on bail in an another encounter case of Sohrabuddin Shaikh.
As per the chargesheet filed by the CBI, Amin, along with Barot, another DySP, abducted Ishrat Jahan, a Mumbai-based teenager, and her associate Javed Shaik, alias Pranesh Pillai, from a toll booth in Anand district two days prior to their killing on June 15, 2004 near Ahmedabad. He is also accused of firing shots at Ishrat, Javed and two alleged Pakistani nationals Zeeshan Johar and Amjad Ali Rana. All four were killed allegedly by Ahmedabad Crime Branch in what the CBI claimed was a staged shootout.
