A Special CBI court Tuesday rejected the discharge applications of DG Vanzara and NK Amin who are accused in the Ishrat Jahan alleged fake encounter case. Vanzara, who is out on bail, is accused of planning the encounter that was allegedly staged by a joint team of the Gujarat Police and officers of the Intelligence Bureau. Retired superintendent of police NK Amin is co-accused in the case. The duo had moved the discharge plea after their then superior officer, retired Director General of Police P P Pandey, was discharged. The court refused to discharge Vanzara and Amin on the ground of parity with Pandey. The court held that the role of these two accused is “greater” than the retired DGP.
