- 5 years ago
Mumbai: In a huge relief to BJP president Amit Shah, a special CBI court in Mumbai on Tuesday discharged him from Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter killing cases, holding there existed "no case" against him and that he had been implicated for "political reasons".
"Amit Anilchandra Shah is discharged from the case," ruled special CBI judge MB Gosavi as he ordered dropping of the charges of murder, abduction and criminal conspiracy against the BJP chief embroiled in the fake encounter deaths of the two gangsters which had grabbed headlines for several years.
"I am of the opinion that the inference that the CBI has drawn is not accepted as the entire record when considered in totality there is no case against the applicant," the judge said discharging the 50-year-old leader from the case.
