They include Geetha Johri, who was the Investigating Officer when the case was being probed by the State CID, according to CBI sources. The central agency has also called Rajneesh Rai, who was the one who had arrested three IPS officers, D G Vanzara, Rajkumar Pandian and Dinesh M N, considered to be main conspirators behind the encounter of Sheikh and disappearance of his wife Kauserbi in November 2005, they said.
The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to suspended Gujarat cadre IPS officer Rajkumar Pandian, who was arrested in connection with the alleged fake encounter killings of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kauserbi.
