Former Gujarat minister Amit Shah is an influential person, and if granted bail, could prove dangerous for investigation in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, said Sohrabuddin's brother Rubabuddin through his lawyer before a special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ahmedabad on Friday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation special court will on Tuesday decide on the bail plea of former Gujarat home minister Amit Shah, who was arrested in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. The hearing in the court of CBI Judge G K Upadhyay was adjourned on August 11 following a request for adjournment by Shah's lawyer Mitesh Amin on the grounds that their senior counsel Ram Jethmalani was unable to be present that day.
The aim behind the arrest of former Gujarat Minister Amit Shah by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case was to target Chief Minister Narendra Modi, his counsel Ram Jethmalani said in an Ahmedabad court.
The hearing on the bail plea of former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, arrested in connection with the 2005 Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, was adjourned till August 17 by a special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
