In a major relief for retired senior cops D G Vanzara and N K Amin, the Gujarat government has refused sanction to prosecute them in the 2004 Ishrat Jahan encounter case after the special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court rejected the cops’ discharge application.
The CBI counsel R C Kodekar on Tuesday informed the special court about denial of prosecution sanction under section 197 of the CrPC and placed a letter sent by the state government to the CBI in a sealed cover.
