Cops Turn Killers
Here's why a fake encounter by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad has shocked the nation:
- Three senior police officers were involved in the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh.
- The victim was passed off as an LeT operative who was plotting to kill senior Gujarat politicians, including chief minister Narendra Modi.
- The case came out into the open only after the Supreme Court ordered an investigation.
- A witness to Sheikh's killing has also been bumped off in an encounter.
- There is a question mark over five other encounters to which one of the three officers is linked.
