Good, Pillars of Republic of India are as strong as they were made to be.
Courts were adjudging the nature of encounter only and they have found it a fake encounter. Many top officials are going to be behind bars.
Well done Gujarat High court.

Thats her personal matter.
There were intel inputs about her links to LeT, and good she got gunned down. If it was upto me I would get all these criminals, terrorists get killed in "fake encounters".
Indian justice system is way too slow and frustrating. Justice delayed is justice denied. I mean we are still feeding that terrorist scum Qasab using tax payers money.

The list is long and exclusive to Gujarat.
Modi govt under fire for fake encounters
NEW DELHI: Narendra Modis Gujarat government came under fire on Saturday in the Loko Sabha over fake encounters . The Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil deplored the encounters saying the Indian government would not resort to terrorist tactics to deal with the terrorists.
Dismissing the Oppositions charge that the government was soft to terrorists, he asserted in his reply to the debate that we are neither hawkish nor soft but having a balanced approach to do what is necessary.... but we will not be paishani (devilish) in our approach.
Except for BJP and its supporting NDA allies, all parties, including the ruling Congress, mounted attack on the Narendra Modi government citing the killing of Sohrabuddin in a fake encounter in Gujarat for which three IPS officers were arrested early this week on Supreme Courts intervention. Many alleged that there have been a series of fake encounters in Gujarat targeting members of a minority community and that it was right time for the Home Ministry to intervene and get all encounters in the state in the past five, six years inquired by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The BJP members repeatedly protested as the other side tried to allege their chief minister Narendra Modis hand and moral support to the Gujarat Police to resort to fake encounters. The most provocative was Gujarats Congress member Madhusudan Mistry who claimed that there were at least 21 other fake encounters and that the DIG arrested for the killing of Sohrabuddin was allegedly involved in ten of them.
Bahujan Samaj Party member Ilyas Azmi said the situation in Gujarat would continue to be bad as far as the Muslims are concerned but still worse was the Maharashtra government that came to power with the Muslims support but acting against them in the fascist manner and the secularists are not even ready to protest at the way the Muslims are arrested and implicated falsely in cases of violence in Mumbai and elsewhere in the state.
If the Muslims are to be assured security, Ilyas said a new law should be enacted to provide for an automatic CBI probe whenever a Muslim was killed in any part of the country. iftikhar gilani

Ishrat Jahan was an LeT fidayeen: Headley
NEW DELHI: Pakistani American terrorist David Headley has said that Ishrat Jahan, the Mumbai girl who was killed along with three alleged terrorists in 2004 in a police encounter, was indeed a Lashkar-e-Taiba fidayeen.
Sources said Headley told interrogators from the National Investigation Agency that Ishrat, a resident of Mumbra in Thane, was recruited by top Lashkar commander Muzammil who was in charge of LeT's operations in India till 2007.
The statement, while confirming that Headley is a trove of information on Lashkar's plans against India, corroborates the version of Gujarat police as well as the Centre in what has turned into a controversial case because of doubts about the veracity of the police version.
Importantly, Headley's statement tallies with claim of Gujarat cops and the Centre that Muzammil had sent Ishrat and her accomplices to Gujarat on a terror mission as part of Lashkar's plan to attack the Indian hinterland and target VIPs.
Headley's visits to India for reconaissance missions for Lashkar started in 2006, sources said, when Muzammil was Lashkar's chief commander in India.
Lashkar had owned up Ishrat immediately after the encounter, with its Lahore-based mouthpiece 'Ghazwa Times' describing her as an LeT activist and taking umbrage at the action of Indian cops in removing her veil. In 2007, however, Lashkar, in its fresh incarnation as Jamaat-ud-Dawa, disowned her, by issuing an apology to Ishrat's family for calling her an LeT cadre.
The timing of the apology was significant. It came just before Gopinath Pillai, father of Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai who was killed along with Ishrat, filed a petition in the Supreme Court, demanding a CBI probe into the encounter.
Headley's statement that Ishrat was recruited to be a fidayeen undercuts Lashkar's attempt to disown her, though it may not settle doubts about the genuineness of the encounter in which she was killed.
Ishrat and Javed were killed along with two Pakistani nationals -- Amjad Ali and Jishan Johar Abdul Ghani -- both alleged LeT terrorists, on June 15, 2004. According to the police version, they were intercepted on the outskirts of Ahmedabad when they were about to enter the city in a blue Indica on a mission to eliminate chief minister Narendra Modi.
In her petition to the Gujarat High Court, Ishrat's mother Shamima Kausar had disputed the version of the Gujarat police as well as the Centre, claiming that her daughter was a saleswoman working for Javed Sheikh who dealt in perfumes. Javed's father told the SC that his son was innocent and sought a central probe.
Both Gujarat police and Centre pointed to infirmities in their version. Centre told Gujarat HC that Javed had been recruited by LeT when he was in Dubai. Gopinath Pillai had not disclosed criminal cases pending against his son, or the fact that he had obtained a different passport using his original name even though the one issued to him was still valid.
The Centre also disputed the claim of Gopinath Pillai, supported by Ishrat's mother, that he was in the business of perfumes and that this required him and Ishrat to travel across the country.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------
check the article in the first post of the thread; no headlines were tweaked
its good to see that the Indian courts can stand up to the Govt and say what is right. the attack on the Indian Lok Sabha was also faked. the way those "terrorists" were brought there and then gunned down.
when there is world's biggest movie industry to get guidence from the fake encounters will look as real and dramatic as their movies.

Indians 'killed in staged clash'
A female student and three others were killed by police in a "staged" encounter in the Indian state of Gujarat, a judicial probe has found.
Ishrat Jahan Raza was one of four people shot dead by Gujarat police in 2004 on suspicion of being part of a banned Pakistani-based militant group.
Relatives maintained the victims were killed by police in a staged clash, commonly known as "fake encounters".
Police in Gujarat have denied the allegation.
They say the victims were members of the banned Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
But a judicial probe into the incident has named a senior Gujarat police officer, among others, in connection with the "cold-blooded murder" of the 19-year-old student and three others.
The probe by judge SP Tamag said that police had "kidnapped" the student and three others in the city of Mumbai (Bombay).
They were then taken to Ahmedabad, Gujarat's main city, and killed in "police custody", the probe said.
'Plot'
Ms Raza's mother said she was happy that her daughter's "innocence had been proved".
"This is the first step towards towards justice. We want to remove the stain that my daughter has been branded a terrorist," Shamima Kausar said.
The four were killed in "police custody", the probe said. But the police claimed that they were killed in an "encounter" in Ahmedabad
Human rights groups have repeatedly expressed concerns about so-called "fake encounters" whereby security forces are accused of unprovoked killings in staged clashes.
Police say that Ms Raza and the others who were killed were involved in a plot to kill the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.
The Gujarat high court has appointed a committee of three senior policemen for a fresh investigation into the killings and asked it to submit its report by the end of November.
The four were driving near Ahmedabad airport when they were intercepted.
Later police in Mumbai said Ms Raza had no criminal background and had never been involved in any terrorist activity, as claimed by the police in Gujarat.
