Ahmedabad, 22 November, 2011
A day after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the 2004 Ishrat Jehan case concluded that she was killed in a fake encounter, former home secretary GK Pillai today claimed that the report did not ascertain whether Ishrat was a terrorist or not.
The former bureaucrat said, “Based on the evidence available, the SIT report only said that Ishrat’s encounter was fake but it did not ascertain whether Ishrat and others were alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists or not.”
Pillai made this remark while speaking to a TV news channel.
Countering the claims of ‘Ishrat’s innocence’ being made by her family in the wake of the SIT report, Pillai said that he had received the evidences about her involvement in suspicious activities with terrorist outfit LeT.
Pillai went ahead saying that the LeT website had mentioned Ishrat as a martyr and later removed it.
