		&#039;title&#039; =&gt; &#039;Ishrat Jahan case: ‘Police handled post-encounter situation shoddily&amp;#039; by Manas Dasgupta&#039;,

		&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The report of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team that probed the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, make it clear that the so-called &amp;ldquo;encounter specialists&amp;rdquo; of the Gujarat police handled the post-encounter situation very shoddily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Perhaps driven by over-confidence, or may be lack of experience then, the police did not bother much to cover their footprints and the blunders it left behind made it easy for the investigating officers to call the police bluff.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the High Court has not given the details of the report of the SIT submitted in a sealed cover before a Division Bench which was overlooking the probe, justice Jayant Patel while declaring that the SIT had found the encounter to be &amp;ldquo;not a genuine one,&amp;rdquo; also disclosed that the probe team believed that the four were &amp;ldquo;not killed at the date, time and place&amp;rdquo; showed by the police.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SIT headed by the Bihar cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, seems to have agreed with the conclusion the Ahmedabad judicial magistrate, S. P. Tamang, who was conducting a routine enquiry into the encounter, had reached earlier. According to Mr. Tamang&#039;s report, submitted in September, 2009, the four were killed &amp;ldquo;by gun shots from very close range&amp;rdquo; at least four to seven hours before the time of the encounter registered by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in its &amp;ldquo;investigation report.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had claimed that the four were killed in an &amp;ldquo;exchange of fire&amp;rdquo; near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad around 4 am on June 15, 2004, when the police &amp;ldquo;intercepted&amp;rdquo; the blue Indica car in which they were &amp;ldquo;travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad via Surat&amp;rdquo; on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Tamang who concluded that it was a case of &amp;ldquo;cold blooded murder,&amp;rdquo; maintained that while Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh must have been killed between 8.30 p.m and 9 p.m the previous night, Ishrat, and the two Pakistani nationals, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, must have been gunned down between 11 pm and midnight.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It was shocking that while cooking up the story about the &amp;ldquo;encounter,&amp;rdquo; the police officials like the Deputy Inspector General of Police, D. G. Vanzara, nicknamed &amp;ldquo;encounter specialist&amp;rdquo; and the then Joint Police Commissioner, P. P. Pande, did not realise that the post-mortem report on the rigor mortis setting on the bodies and the particles of undigested food in their stomachs would give out their bluff of the four being killed in the wee hours of June 15
&lt;/div&gt;

		&#039;title&#039; =&gt; &#039;Ishrat Jahan case: ‘Police handled post-encounter situation shoddily&amp;#039; by Manas Dasgupta&#039;,
		&#039;subheading&#039; =&gt; &#039;&#039;,
		&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The report of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team that probed the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, make it clear that the so-called &amp;ldquo;encounter specialists&amp;rdquo; of the Gujarat police handled the post-encounter situation very shoddily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Perhaps driven by over-confidence, or may be lack of experience then, the police did not bother much to cover their footprints and the blunders it left behind made it easy for the investigating officers to call the police bluff.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the High Court has not given the details of the report of the SIT submitted in a sealed cover before a Division Bench which was overlooking the probe, justice Jayant Patel while declaring that the SIT had found the encounter to be &amp;ldquo;not a genuine one,&amp;rdquo; also disclosed that the probe team believed that the four were &amp;ldquo;not killed at the date, time and place&amp;rdquo; showed by the police.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SIT headed by the Bihar cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, seems to have agreed with the conclusion the Ahmedabad judicial magistrate, S. P. Tamang, who was conducting a routine enquiry into the encounter, had reached earlier. According to Mr. Tamang&#039;s report, submitted in September, 2009, the four were killed &amp;ldquo;by gun shots from very close range&amp;rdquo; at least four to seven hours before the time of the encounter registered by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in its &amp;ldquo;investigation report.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had claimed that the four were killed in an &amp;ldquo;exchange of fire&amp;rdquo; near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad around 4 am on June 15, 2004, when the police &amp;ldquo;intercepted&amp;rdquo; the blue Indica car in which they were &amp;ldquo;travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad via Surat&amp;rdquo; on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Tamang who concluded that it was a case of &amp;ldquo;cold blooded murder,&amp;rdquo; maintained that while Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh must have been killed between 8.30 p.m and 9 p.m the previous night, Ishrat, and the two Pakistani nationals, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, must have been gunned down between 11 pm and midnight.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It was shocking that while cooking up the story about the &amp;ldquo;encounter,&amp;rdquo; the police officials like the Deputy Inspector General of Police, D. G. Vanzara, nicknamed &amp;ldquo;encounter specialist&amp;rdquo; and the then Joint Police Commissioner, P. P. Pande, did not realise that the post-mortem report on the rigor mortis setting on the bodies and the particles of undigested food in their stomachs would give out their bluff of the four being killed in the wee hours of June 15

	&#039;title&#039; =&gt; &#039;Ishrat Jahan case: ‘Police handled post-encounter situation shoddily&amp;#039; by Manas Dasgupta&#039;,

	&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The report of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team that probed the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, make it clear that the so-called &amp;ldquo;encounter specialists&amp;rdquo; of the Gujarat police handled the post-encounter situation very shoddily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Perhaps driven by over-confidence, or may be lack of experience then, the police did not bother much to cover their footprints and the blunders it left behind made it easy for the investigating officers to call the police bluff.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the High Court has not given the details of the report of the SIT submitted in a sealed cover before a Division Bench which was overlooking the probe, justice Jayant Patel while declaring that the SIT had found the encounter to be &amp;ldquo;not a genuine one,&amp;rdquo; also disclosed that the probe team believed that the four were &amp;ldquo;not killed at the date, time and place&amp;rdquo; showed by the police.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SIT headed by the Bihar cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, seems to have agreed with the conclusion the Ahmedabad judicial magistrate, S. P. Tamang, who was conducting a routine enquiry into the encounter, had reached earlier. According to Mr. Tamang&#039;s report, submitted in September, 2009, the four were killed &amp;ldquo;by gun shots from very close range&amp;rdquo; at least four to seven hours before the time of the encounter registered by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in its &amp;ldquo;investigation report.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had claimed that the four were killed in an &amp;ldquo;exchange of fire&amp;rdquo; near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad around 4 am on June 15, 2004, when the police &amp;ldquo;intercepted&amp;rdquo; the blue Indica car in which they were &amp;ldquo;travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad via Surat&amp;rdquo; on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Tamang who concluded that it was a case of &amp;ldquo;cold blooded murder,&amp;rdquo; maintained that while Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh must have been killed between 8.30 p.m and 9 p.m the previous night, Ishrat, and the two Pakistani nationals, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, must have been gunned down between 11 pm and midnight.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It was shocking that while cooking up the story about the &amp;ldquo;encounter,&amp;rdquo; the police officials like the Deputy Inspector General of Police, D. G. Vanzara, nicknamed &amp;ldquo;encounter specialist&amp;rdquo; and the then Joint Police Commissioner, P. P. Pande, did not realise that the post-mortem report on the rigor mortis setting on the bodies and the particles of undigested food in their stomachs would give out their bluff of the four being killed in the wee hours of June 15

		&#039;title&#039; =&gt; &#039;Ishrat Jahan case: ‘Police handled post-encounter situation shoddily&amp;#039; by Manas Dasgupta&#039;,

		&#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The report of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team that probed the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, make it clear that the so-called &amp;ldquo;encounter specialists&amp;rdquo; of the Gujarat police handled the post-encounter situation very shoddily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Perhaps driven by over-confidence, or may be lack of experience then, the police did not bother much to cover their footprints and the blunders it left behind made it easy for the investigating officers to call the police bluff.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Though the High Court has not given the details of the report of the SIT submitted in a sealed cover before a Division Bench which was overlooking the probe, justice Jayant Patel while declaring that the SIT had found the encounter to be &amp;ldquo;not a genuine one,&amp;rdquo; also disclosed that the probe team believed that the four were &amp;ldquo;not killed at the date, time and place&amp;rdquo; showed by the police.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SIT headed by the Bihar cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, seems to have agreed with the conclusion the Ahmedabad judicial magistrate, S. P. Tamang, who was conducting a routine enquiry into the encounter, had reached earlier. According to Mr. Tamang&#039;s report, submitted in September, 2009, the four were killed &amp;ldquo;by gun shots from very close range&amp;rdquo; at least four to seven hours before the time of the encounter registered by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in its &amp;ldquo;investigation report.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The police had claimed that the four were killed in an &amp;ldquo;exchange of fire&amp;rdquo; near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad around 4 am on June 15, 2004, when the police &amp;ldquo;intercepted&amp;rdquo; the blue Indica car in which they were &amp;ldquo;travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad via Surat&amp;rdquo; on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Tamang who concluded that it was a case of &amp;ldquo;cold blooded murder,&amp;rdquo; maintained that while Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh must have been killed between 8.30 p.m and 9 p.m the previous night, Ishrat, and the two Pakistani nationals, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, must have been gunned down between 11 pm and midnight.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
It was shocking that while cooking up the story about the &amp;ldquo;encounter,&amp;rdquo; the police officials like the Deputy Inspector General of Police, D. G. Vanzara, nicknamed &amp;ldquo;encounter specialist&amp;rdquo; and the then Joint Police Commissioner, P. P. Pande, did not realise that the post-mortem report on the rigor mortis setting on the bodies and the particles of undigested food in their stomachs would give out their bluff of the four being killed in the wee hours of June 15
&lt;/div&gt;

Ishrat Jahan case: ‘Police handled post-encounter situation shoddily' by Manas Dasgupta

The report of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team that probed the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, make it clear that the so-called “encounter specialists” of the Gujarat police handled the post-encounter situation very shoddily. Perhaps driven by over-confidence, or may be lack of experience then, the police did not bother much to cover their footprints and the blunders it left behind made it easy for the investigating officers to call the police bluff. Though the High Court has not given the details of the report of the SIT submitted in a sealed cover before a Division Bench which was overlooking the probe, justice Jayant Patel while declaring that the SIT had found the encounter to be “not a genuine one,” also disclosed that the probe team believed that the four were “not killed at the date, time and place” showed by the police. The SIT headed by the Bihar cadre IPS officer, Rajiv Ranjan Verma, seems to have agreed with the conclusion the Ahmedabad judicial magistrate, S. P. Tamang, who was conducting a routine enquiry into the encounter, had reached earlier. According to Mr. Tamang's report, submitted in September, 2009, the four were killed “by gun shots from very close range” at least four to seven hours before the time of the encounter registered by the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) in its “investigation report.” The police had claimed that the four were killed in an “exchange of fire” near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad around 4 am on June 15, 2004, when the police “intercepted” the blue Indica car in which they were “travelling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad via Surat” on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some others. Mr. Tamang who concluded that it was a case of “cold blooded murder,” maintained that while Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh must have been killed between 8.30 p.m and 9 p.m the previous night, Ishrat, and the two Pakistani nationals, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar, must have been gunned down between 11 pm and midnight. It was shocking that while cooking up the story about the “encounter,” the police officials like the Deputy Inspector General of Police, D. G. Vanzara, nicknamed “encounter specialist” and the then Joint Police Commissioner, P. P. Pande, did not realise that the post-mortem report on the rigor mortis setting on the bodies and the particles of undigested food in their stomachs would give out their bluff of the four being killed in the wee hours of June 15
