Sohrabuddin Sheikh case: SC to take up bail pleas of two Gujarat cops on March 24

New Delhi, Feb 25 : The Supreme Court on Monday said that it will take up the matter of the bail requests of two Gujarat police officials, allegedly involved in the fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh on March 24.

The apex court bench that was headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat issued notice to the Narendra Modi Government on the petition filed by Rajasthan cadre IPS officer Dinesh M N and N K Amin.

Dinesh had allegedly assisted the Gujarat police in carrying out the fake encounter and Amin was charged with disposing of the body of Sheikh's wife Kauser Bi.

Sohrabuddin was reportedly gunned down on November 26, 2005 after being branded a Lashkar-e-Toiba militant by the state police, allegedly trying to hatch a conspiracy to kill Modi. The cops also allegedly killed Sohrabuddin's wife, Kausar Bi.
