Amitabh Thakur, former Chief Investigating Officer in the alleged fake encounter case of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, Tulsiram Prajapati and the death of Kausar Bi has told the Special CBI Court on Monday that BJP national president Amit Shah and four others benefitted politically as well as financially from the fake encounter case. Amit Shah allegedly benefitted financially as he was paid Rs 70 lakh in three installments by the Patel brothers, who were allegedly threatened for their lives in an attempt to extort money by Sohrabuddin Shaikh and Tulsiram Prajapati. DG Vanzara also benefitted monetarily as he was allegedly paid Rs 60 lakh to carry out the encounter.
When Thakur was asked if there were any preliminary inquiries initiated against him for misconduct, bribery, threat and fabrication of evidence, he denied all the charges. He also denied being asked by then CBI Director Ashwini Kumar to implicate all the accused in the case. Thakur had led the team that interrogated Amit Shah when he was in judicial custody.
