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remembered that when Justice Brij Gopal Harikishan Loya died on December 1, 2014 in Nagpur, his security cover had been withdrawn just few days prior to that.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?

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
