The Supreme Court has ordered a CBI probe into the 2005 gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case. A bench of Justices Tarun Chatterjee and Aftab Alam pronounced the verdict.
Sohrabuddin Sheikh was killed in an encounter by the Gujarat Police. An inquiry is already going on in this case. The Gujarat Government had opposed a CBI probe, saying the investigation is underway.
The SIT has been probing the gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case and the Gujarat Government argued that the probe was being conducted in an impartial manner and a CBI probe was not required. However, Justices Aftab Alam and Tarun Chatterjee thought otherwise.
