Court admits plea seeking Narco tests in Sohrabuddin case

Ahmedabad, Aug 31 (UNI) A local court today admitted an application, moved by CID (Crime), seeking narco analysis and brain mapping tests to be conducted on 13 personnel of Gujarat&Rajasthan Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) for their alleged involvement in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

Additional City Session Court Judge A G Ureji admitted the application, demanding narco analysis test for suspended police officials, including Gujarat ATS Chief D G Vanzara.

The court has set the hearing of the application on September 5.

In the application, the CID has stated that the police officials were not cooperating in the investigation and narco analysis was required to get the correct facts in the case.

The other officials on whom the narco tests have been demanded are Rajkumar Pandyan, N K Amind, Dinesh M N, N H Dabhi, Santram Sharma, Ajay Parmar, N V Chauhan, Balkrishna Choubey, M L Parmar, Abdul Rehman, Himanshu and Shyam.

These 13 policemen, including three IPS officials, have been arrested in the sensational case in which ATS teams of the Gujarat and Rajasthan have allegedly murdered Sohrabuddin and eliminated his wife Kausar Bi in Ahmedabad in year-2005.

The case is now being investigated by CID Crime under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court. The Gujarat government took this step after the Supreme Court pulled up the government in the case last month.
