Geeta Johri, the investigating officer in the case, is likely to visit the CRPF Mess in Chandrayangutta.
According to a senior state Crime Investigation Department official, those passengers included at least 60 from Gujarat, who have already reached their respective native places in the state.
This is the second time that Geeta Johri visited Andhra Pradesh for this case.
Weeks after a Nicaragua-bound plane carrying Indians was grounded in France and later sent back to India, the Gujarat police have booked 14 agents on the charge of human trafficking for trying to send more than 60 persons from Gujarat to the US illegally via Mexico border, a senior official said.
The disgrace is compounded by the fact that the 81-year-old self-styled godman is already serving a life sentence in a Jodhpur jail for raping a minor girl at his ashram in Rajasthan in 2013.
The Gujarat CID on Monday filed a chargesheet against 13 police officials, including DIG D G Vanzara, before the metropolitan court in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
The concerned official is known to have worked with one of the arrested senior IPS officers, D G Vanzara, when he was heading the Ahmedabad Crime Branch.
The official under scrutiny, N K Amin, is a Deputy Superintendent of Police in the CID and worked previously under D G Vanzara.
Gujarat CID has filed a charge sheet against seven office-bearers of Asaram Bapu Ashram for their alleged role in mysterious death of two boys there in 2008.
The warrants were issued by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate K J Upadhyay after the Gujarat CID filed an application that neither of them had replied to their summons regading the case.
Johri met Balwinder Singh for about 15 minutes. She also met Trivedi for over two hours. When mediapersons waiting at Trivedi's office literally mobbed her, she left the venue without answering their queries.
The Gujarat CID, the agency probing the case, also filed an application seeking the court's nod to conduct narco-analysis tests on the officers.
Metropolition judge K J Upadhyay rejected the CID application.
It may be recalled that Sohrabuddin, his wife Kausar Bi and another person had boarded a private bus from Hyderabad in November 2005 when they were forcibly off-loaded from the bus by a team of the Gujarat police.
The digging work was conducted largely in and around an abandoned well that is in a farm behind Vanzara's massive bungalow and is owned by him and located in Sabarkatha district, about 100 km from Ahmedabad.
Investigations into the mysterious disappearance of Kausar Bi, the wife of Sohrabuddin Sheikh who was allegedly killed in a fake encounter in Ahmedabad in 2005 after being dubbed a terrorist by police, could throw up some grisly facts.
The Gujarat CID, probing the fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, has submitted its Action Taken Report in the 2005 case to the Supreme Court, a senior official said on Thursday.
He was, however, released after producing a personal bond as he has already got an anticipatory bail from a local court, the CID official said.
The CID has detained certain policemen of the ranks of Inspector, Sub-inspector and Constable, who were members of the team that tracked Sohrabuddin all the way from Hyderabad and then were part of the encounter near Ahmedabad.
Vanzara has a heart ailment and has been treated for the same several times in the recent past, said advocate Mitesh Amin when the plea for conducting narco-analysis tests on Vanzara and five others arrested in the case came up for hearing.
The Gujarat government on Wednesday said it has not accepted the resignation of fake encounter cases accused Indian Police Service officer D G Vanzara, who quit after indicting Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Special CBI Judge S J Sharma ruled the prosecution has failed to put forth any "documentary and substantive evidence" to suggest or establish the alleged conspiracy.
