The mother of Ishrat Jahan, the college student who was allegedly killed in a fake encounter by the Gujarat police in 2004, on Tuesday demanded stringent punishment to all those involved in her daughter's killing.
A day after her daughter was absolved of the charges by an Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate, Shamima Jahan alleged that Ishrat, a student of Mumbai's Khalsa College, was eliminated as part of a "cold=blooded conspiracy" by the police. Right from the Mumbra police, who picked up Ishrat from her home, to their counterparts in Ahmedabad, who "killed her in cold blood", everyone did it for publicity, she alleged
The Gujarat police killed Ishrat and the others on June 15 claiming they are Lashkar-e-Tayiba (LeT) terrorists and were planning to assassinate state Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
