CBI 'proof' against Shah: Sohrabuddin tapes
New Delhi: The CBI's plan to nail former Gujarat minister Amit Shah in the alleged staged encounter killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh partly rests on video recordings secretly prepared by two Ahmedabad-based builder brothers -- Raman Patel and Dashrath Patel -- of their conversation with the politician's associates.
The Patels recorded their conversation with Yashpal Chudasama and Ajay Patel, Shah’s associates, in March and April this year after the CBI took over the investigation into the murders of Sohrabuddin and his wife Kauser Bi in November 2005. The conversation in Gujarati between the four men in the video recordings accessed by CNN-IBN suggests that Shah's associates were desperate to get him off the hook.
The Patels had allegedly been used to frame Sohrabuddin, but when the CBI investigation started picking up they recorded their conversation with Yashpal Chudasama and Ajay Patel to protect themselves. A conversation between the four at the ADC Bank in Ahmedabad on March 3 allegedly reveals that Chudasama was worried about CBI trying to win over witnesses against Shah.
"Their (CBI) main aim is to nail Amit Shah -- that's what they want. So they are wanting to make those in jail witnesses against him. For the moment, they are trying to win over G L Singhal and Abhay Chudasama. Earlier, they took Mahendrasinh into confidence," says Chudasama.
Dashrath Patel is heard saying: "Is it true that the marble lobby gave a supari (contract) to kill Sohrabuddin? Did that come out during CID investigations?"
Chudasama then says: "There's a difference in the way the CID and the CBI functions. For the CBI, the final target is already fixed and then they go about investigating. All those whose role is found in the process, get picked up." (CID in this case is Gujarat's Criminal Investigation Department which conducted its own investigation into Sohrabuddin and Kauser Bi's deaths.) Read more....
