Gulberg society case: Court asked to make SIT rectify loopholes

By IANS,

Gandhinagar : A special court trying Ahmedabad’s Gulberg Society massacre case was Tuesday urged to order the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team to rectify the loopholes in the evidence recorded in the case.

The application, moved by advocate S.M. Vohra, who appears for victims and witnesses in the case, sought authentication of the CD of telephone call records, recording of evidence to prove the call contents and location of the suspects and tie up loopholes in evidence.

Seeking analysis of the CD by the government analyser, Vohra submitted that analysis of the call details of 27 people (including journalists Rajdeep Sardesai, Chief Minister Narendra Modi and other politicians and leaders) was necessary otherwise the evidence of the CD would be fruitless and futile.

The application has also sought SIT probe in destruction of phone records of killed Congress ex-MP Ehsan Jafri. It further wanted the SIT to record the statements of policemen on whom the criminal responsibility is pinned.

The application claimed that some aspect which were left uninvestigated, should be probed into.

Giving an example of phone records of senior police officials, such as then commissioner of police P.C. Pande, Vohra claimed that Pande, who received 15 calls from the chief minister’s office when both Gulberg society and Naroda were under attack, has been left uninvestigated with no statement being recorded of Pande or the CMO in this connection.
