Ishrat Jahan Case: Home Ministry refuses prosecution sanction for former IB officers

Thane, June 08 (ANI): Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday refused prosecution sanction for former Intelligence Bureau officers in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. The CBI had sought the Centre’s approval to prosecute former Intelligence Bureau Special Director Rajinder Kumar and other IB officers in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. Without sanctions from the Home Ministry, the court will not take cognizance of CBI’s chargesheet. According to CBI, the killing of Jahan and three others in a fake encounter in 2004 was result of joint conspiracy of Gujarat police and the Intelligence Bureau. Ishrat Jahan’s family members said that they are not very hopeful of getting justice in Narendra Modi-led BJP’s government.
