Mumbai: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on Saturday, demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation identify the Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials and political masters
in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.
"The facts which have been revealed in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case show a shocking degree of ruthlessness, heartlessness and lawlessness on part of the Gujarat Police and indeed the Gujarat government. The CBI chargesheet deserves to be taken seriously for this is a court monitored investigation which reconfirms what was already established by a magisterial inquiry and a second inquiry conducted by the Special Investigation Team under the supervision of the High Court," the AAP said, in a press statement, in Mumbai. The party also said that the officers incharge of maintaining the rule of law meticulously conspired and planned cold blooded murders, put up an elaborate cover up and even wrote the First Information Report before the encounter.
"The involvement of senior IB officers in conspiring, planning and participating in the cold blooded murder to the extent of procuring and planting weapons on the dead bodies of the victims shows that the United Progressive Alliance was also complicit in this violation of the rule of law. Such is the clout of the IB within the Home Ministry that the CBI has been prevented from charge-sheeting the IB officials against whom it collected enormous evidence," the statement said.
The party also demanded institutional mechanisms for accountability and oversight over the functioning of various intelligence agencies.
