NEW DELHI: Geetha Johri, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Rajkot, Gujarat, has filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court alleging that the CBI has been exerting pressure on her to implicate political leaders in Gujarat, including former Minister of State for Home Amit Shah, in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case in 2005 in Ahmedabad.
She also sought expunction of certain remarks made against her by the apex court in its judgment.
She pointed out that CBI Special Director Balwinder Singh was the City Police Commissioner of Hyderabad in 2007 from whom she had sought information about the seven Andhra Pradesh police officers who accompanied Sohrabuddin to Ahmedabad. At that time he expressed his ignorance.
Now, the same officer was investigating the case of Sohrabuddin fake encounter.
He should be removed as a supervising officer and instead made a witness in the case, Johri stated.
The third person accompanying Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausar Bi was Nayeemuddin, alias Kalimuddin, and not Tulsiram Prajapathi, as stated earlier.
In fact, Nayeemuddin was an accused in the Haren Pandya murder case (former Gujarat Minister of State for Home) and was absconding, she said.
She alleged that the Andhra Pradesh police was protecting Kalimuddin because he functions as a police informer for them and also for the CBI.
The senior IPS Officer alleged that the CBI asked her to depose before it in a particular manner and also threatened her personal assistant.
She challenged dismissal of her review petition wherein she had sought expunction of remarks made against her. These remarks were made without giving notice to her and without affording an opportunity to her to narrate her side of the story, she added.
