Gujarat Govt. to SC: Kausar Bi Killed, Burnt by the Police

In a startling revelation before the Supreme Court, the Gujarat government admitted that Kausar Bi was killed and burnt just few days after her husband Sohrabuddin Sheikh was killed in a fake encounter by Gujarat police. The government counsel submitted the action taken report on the investigation carried by the Gujarat Government in a sealed cover.

The truth came out after the interrogation of the three IPS officials arrested in connection with the case. The government is trying to locate Kausar Bi's remains. It can be recalled that Sohrabuddin was killed in an encounter in November 2005. At that time the police claimed that he was planning to assassinate Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. However, only last month, the state government had admitted in the Supreme Court that it was a fake encounter.

Three IPS officers including the former chief of the ATS D G Vanjara were arrested and are being interrogated by the CID. The CID had seized two vehicles - a Toyota Qualis and a towing crane - that were suspected to have been used in the killing of Sohrabuddin and Kausar Bi.
