Sohrabuddin case: Supreme Court to examine CBI report

Ahmedabad: The Supreme Court will examine the status report submitted by the CBI on the Shorubuddin fake encounter case today.

Sources say the report contains details of the investigations done so far. The CBI is also seeking permission to investigate Tulsiram Prajapati's killing. Prajapati was a key witness to Shorabuddin encounter. The CBI feels investigations into Prajapati's death may expose top political leaders in Gujarat and Rajasthan.

In January the top court had directed the CBI to take over the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case and asked the agency to submit a status report within six months. Two weeks back CBI submitted the status report to the Supreme Court.
