By IANS, New Delhi : Union Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Tuesday demanded the immediate arrest of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the staged killing in 2005 of a man by state police officials after branding him a terrorist.
Asked about his reaction to the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausar Bi in November 2005, Lalu Prasad said: “He (Modi) has committed a fraud and forgery. He has killed a person in a fake encounter. He should be immediately arrested and a Central Bureau of Investigation enquiry should be ordered to establish the truth.”

A petition by Sheikh’s brother seeking to know the whereabouts of Sheikh and Kausar is currently being heard by the Supreme Court.
