Ahmedabad: A special CBI court today rejected the bail application of suspended Indian Police Services officer N K Amin in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case. Amin's lawyer argued that since the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) did not file its chargesheet within the stipulated 90 days, Mr Amin is entitled to bail.
The court maintained that the CBI chargesheet was filed on time. The investigating agency, in its first chargesheet filed last week, said the killing was a joint operation between the Gujarat Police and the state's Intelligence Bureau.
The CBI had arrested Amin on April 4 this year after his release on bail in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh encounter case.
Mr Amin and Mr Barot have also been accused by the CBI of abducting Ishrat Jahan, who was on her way to Ahmebadad with Javed Sheikh, also killed in the encounter, in his blue Indica MH-02 JA 4786 on June 12, 2004, three days before they were shot dead.
