Judiciary that fell prey to fake encounter
As expected, all 22 accused in Sohrabuddin murder case have been acquitted for lack of evidence. In some way, it looks like the culprits themselves argued their own cases and declared themselves innocent. How can we even dream of the culprits being punished when the courts, CBI, and other investigation agencies are under the claws of mighty and powerful who are siding with the accused? Amit Shah’s name was in the forefront when it came to Sohrabuddin's murder case. If fake encounter is proved, it will mean along with the officers who executed the plan, even the leaders who ordered the killing will face jail time. One of the main accused in this case had said before the media that if these charges are proved, many others would face prison along with him.
This was an indirect threat he had issued to the leaders in Delhi. Now even the small foot soldiers in this case have been issued a clean chit. This directly means those sitting in Delhi have heaved a sigh of relief. The main investigating officer in this case had long ago revealed to the media that justice may not be done in this case for many reasons. Not only this, the government itself tried to silence the investigation officer because he knew the details of Sohrabuddin encounter and the people who masterminded it.
About 13 years ago, owing to relentless crusade by a Gujarati police officer Vasant Lalji Bhai Solanki, the killings of Sohrabuddin, his wife Kausar Bi and their assistant Tulsiram Prajapati's deaths came to light.After a long inquiry, Solanki submitted a report calling these deaths fake encounters and named every police officer who was behind these murders. Solanki had mentioned that Amit Shah was also part of these deaths and their planning, along with everyone else who had worked to end these lives. But this whole effort was reduced to dust after CBI took up this case. Ironically, government withdrew the security cover given to Solanki. He could not even visit the court. He told the media that “if a judge who was sitting on this case could die ever so suddenly, I am a retired police officer. People who are desperate to get a clean chit, can do anything for to clear up their own name.”
Solanki remembered that when Justice Brij Gopal Harikishan Loya died on December 1, 2014 in Nagpur, his security cover had been withdrawn just few days prior to that. Sohrabuddin encounter is significant for many reasons because he wasn't killed for the fact that he was a criminal. He was witness to a prominent Gujarati businessman's murder and that caused his death by murder that was plotted by the same forces. This news has been out in th media since long. Sohrabuddin knew details of the death of Gujarati BJP leader Harem Pandya's murder. He had shared with his accomplices that the death of Pandya was ordered from 'higher ups’ above.
Now why Pandya was killed is another aspect altogether. Pandya who had rebelled from the BJP had revealed the role of Gujarat government behind the muslim massacre. He had very significant information about this genocide. Reports of investigation say Pandya was murdered for the very reason. Everybody knows who was the CM and home minister around the time when these killings took place. If the culprits of Sohrabuddin murder are killed, even those who were involved in Pandya case would be brought to book as well. And the details of Gujarat genocide would be out on the open too. This would sound a death knell for Modi and Amit Shah. When things are this complicated, how can we expect Sohrabuddin encounter to be done justice to?

London, Nov 22: A bomb disposal squad deployed as a “precaution” to the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport concluded an investigation into a "security incident" on Friday after making a “suspect package” safe.
The South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow, which was briefly shut owing to the incident reopened following the incident.
The Gatwick is around 45 km south of London.
Two people detained during the enquiries have since been allowed to continue their journey as the airport was opened.
“Police have concluded their investigation into a report of a suspect package at Gatwick Airport. Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team made the package safe, and the airport has been handed back to its operator,” Sussex Police said in an updated statement.
“Two people detained while enquiries were ongoing have subsequently been allowed to continue their journeys. There will remain an increased police presence in the area to assist with passengers accessing the South Terminal for onward travel,” the statement added.
Earlier on Friday, the incident caused severe disruption at the busy airport’s South Terminal, while the North Terminal of Gatwick Airport remained unaffected.
“Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20 am on Friday (November 22) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage,” a Sussex Police statement said.
“To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with. As a precaution, an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the South Terminal have been closed. We’d advise the public to avoid the area where possible,” it said.
Footage on social media taken outside the airport showed crowds of frustrated travellers being moved away from the terminal building.
Gatwick said it was working hard to resolve the issue.
“A large part of the South Terminal has been evacuated as a precaution while we continue to investigate a security incident," the airport said in a social media post.
“Passengers will not be able to enter the South Terminal while this is ongoing. The safety and security of our passengers and staff remain our top priority. We are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
Train and bus services that serve the airport were also impacted while the police carried out their inquiries.
In an unrelated incident in south London on Friday morning, the US Embassy area in Nine Elms by the River Thames was the scene of a controlled explosion by Scotland Yard dealing with what they believe may have been a “hoax device”.
“We can confirm the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the Metropolitan Police said in a post on X.
“Initial indications are that the item was a hoax device. An investigation will now follow. Some cordons will remain in place for the time being but the majority of the police response will now be stood down,” it added.
