Ishrat Jahan Case Proceedings

Shamima Kausar, the mother of Ishrat Jahan who was killed in an alleged fake encounter by the Gujarat Police, today told a special CBI court in Ahmedabad that she can no longer attend the case proceedings as she feels "hopeless and helpless".

A special CBI court is likely to pass an order on May 2 on the applications of retired police officers DG Vanzara and NK Amin seeking dropping of proceeding against them in the Ishrat Jahan alleged fake encounter case after the Gujarat government declined the sanction to prosecute them.

The CBI Wednesday refused to take any stand on the pleas of former police officers DG Vanzara and NK Amin seeking to drop court proceedings against them in the Ishrat Jahan alleged fake encounter case.
