USA: Police Captain on Trial i
In September 2006 a police captain in a jealous rage dragged an officer under his command by her hair into a car on a Greenwich Village street and beat her savagely, a prosecutor told a Manhattan jury yesterday.

As the assault trial got under way, the prosecutor said that the captain, Alberto Sanchez, had had a two-year affair with the officer, Sharon Gandarilla, whom she described as the reluctant and terrified participant in a covert and abusive affair.

The prosecutor, Jessica Taub, told the jury in Manhattan’s Criminal Court that the officer “was hoping that no one wou... Read more

Gujarat tells apex court polic


New Delhi: In a shocking admission, the Gujarat government yesterday told the Supreme Court that the police had murdered the wife of an innocent Muslim man who was shot dead in cold blood after being branded a terrorist.

The hair-raising facts of the case were sealed in an envelope and submitted to the court's registry, Gujarat government counsel K.T.S. Tulsi told Chief Justice Tarun Chatterjee.

Tulsi later submitted to reporters outside the chamber that Kausar Bi, wife of Ahmedabad's staged shootout victim Sohrabuddin Shaikh, was killed within days of her husband's murder in November 2005.

The police committed both killings. Three senior police officers - Inspector General D.G. Vanzara and Superintendent of Police Rajkumar Pandyan of Gujarat and Alwar Superintendent of Police M.N. Dinesh of Rajasthan - have been arrested for the killing of Sohrabuddin and the disappearance of Kausar Bi.

"Investigations have revealed that she was burnt to death in Banjara village near Ahmedabad," Tulsi added.

Missing

The admission came after the apex court stated that it would pass its order today on a habeas corpus petition filed by Shaikh's brother Rubabuddin Shaikh seeking a direction to the Gujarat government to produce Kausar Bi, who went missing since her husband's killing on November 26, 2005.

Tulsi said the arrested officers Vanzara, Pandyan and Dinesh had admitted to the twin murders during their interrogation.

Justice Chatterjee said the court would also examine the central government's plea for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the staged shootout.

Pandyan and Dinesh allegedly killed Sohrabuddin November 26, 2005 in a so-called "encounter" on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.

Shaikh was travelling from Hyderabad to Sangli in Maharashtra with his wife Kausar Bi when they were picked up along with an unidentified man from a bus. Soon after the abduction, Vanzara had announced Shaikh's killing in a police shootout, dubbing him a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist who was on a mission to assassinate Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
