police. A bench of Justices Tarun Chatterjee and V S Sirpurkar directed the Madhya Pradesh DGP to provide security to Rubabuddin and his family who are now settled in the state's Ujjain district. The bench passed the direction after senior counsel Dushayant Dave, appearing for Rubabuddin, alleged that on January 30 this year plainclothes police personnel barged into Rubabuddin's house and intimidated him and his family. According to Dave, the incident occurred despite the apex court's direction in September last year to the Madhya Pradesh police to provide him and his family adequate security in view of the alleged threat faced by them from the Gujarat police. Rubabuddin has moved the apex court earlier seeking judicial inquiry into the killing of his brother Sohrabuddin Sheikh. Sohrabuddin was killed by the Gujarat police in the fake encounter on November 26, 2006 and after couple of days his wife Kauser Bi was also eliminated.
