Gujarat IPS officer Satish Verma, who led Ishrat Jahan probe, dismissed from service.  Satish Jha, DHNS, Ahmedabad, SEP 13 2022. https://www.deccanherald.com/national/west/gujarat-ips-officer-satish-verma-who-led-ishrat-jahan-probe-dismissed-from-service-1144506.html 

 Ever since he became part of Ishrat Jahan probe team- first as a member of Gujarat high court appointed-Special Investigation Team (SIT) and then leading CBI investigation on court's order- Verma has had several run-ins with the state government, then headed by chief minister Narendra Modi, now the prime minister.   the state government had refused Verma promotions on the grounds of departmental cases. Verma was instrumental in the arrest of ex-IPS officers including former Director General of Police, PP Pandey, D G Vanzara, IGP GL Singhal, retired superintendent of police N K Amin, ex-Deputy Superintendent of Police Tarun Barot, among others.

Verma's investigation with CBI established that 19 years old Ishrat Jahan, her friend Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai and two Pakistani nationals were killed in a staged encounter on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. Eight policemen were chargesheeted but the case couldn't see trial as most of the accused were discharged on the ground that the CBI didn't get permission to prosecute them. CBI sought Gujarat government's sanction for prosecution which was denied on the ground of "larger interest." The central agency hasn't challenged these orders.

Before blaming @MumbaiPolice introspect yourself.

PC @SecularPC. Unaffiliated Voter, Secular *** Will vote for either BJP or AAP in 2024, decision is pending!

..There are fringe elements in all areas, however on a high level police does work hard to protect us. Maybe there is an history of this case which is not evident in this photo. Who is "M.N.C.D.F"? Why should v believe them blindly?

The slow execution of the police as an institution continues. Who will save it? Meeran Chadha Borwankar |

Now the naive are bound to ask “but how does police as an institution still work”? To them, I say look out for Sisyphus-like characters in the police. They will find many from beat constable, to sub-Inspector, inspector, Dy SP, SP and senior police leaders, foolishly working honestly and tirelessly. All this, while the politicians of all hues are busy collecting crores and dividing the country on caste and communal lines. These characters, though few in number, are equally adamant at salvaging the criminal justice system.

..While politicians de-construct and destroy institutions, we the citizens are mute spectators. I desist from labelling us as reluctant conspirators or active participants in destroying the institution of police because many of us have put our hopes on those toiling on the tough path with their honest commitment to serve. Can we strengthen those hands and save the institution, I wonder?
