7 yrs later, SIT says Ishrat killed in staged shootout AHMEDABAD: Over seven years after college girl Ishrat Jahan and her three friends were killed and passed off as militants, court-appointed investigators have concluded that they were murdered by the State police in a staged shootout. The conclusion by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) deals a huge setback to the Gujarat government and also vindicates the stand long maintained by activists and families of the dead. Following the SIT report on the 2004 killings, the Gujarat High Court's Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari on Monday ordered a fresh FIR against the accused police officers for the murders under Section 302 that recommends death penalty. The court-appointed SIT, headed by police officer R.R. Verma, said that Jahan, a 19year-old girl from Mumbai, Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar were killed earlier than the shootout date of

Fight for justice.
“They should be hanged. They have ruined our lives. They killed my innocent daughter. We have always said that she was innocent. The truth has finally come out,” a choking Kausar told reporters. Rights activists hailed the SIT conclusion and sought public apology from police and the media for tarnishing the image of the family. “They made their life hell. The family stands vindicated. They killed and tarnished the image of a young girl and her family. They should apologise publicly,” lawyer-activist Vrinda Grover shouted outside the court. In Alappuzha, Kerala, Gopinathan Pillai, the father of Pranesh Kumar Pillai alias Javed Shaikh, said he was a much relieved man now that the SIT report said the shootout was not genuine. Gopinathan Pillai had sought an inquiry by an SIT. “I am a much relieved person because with this none will accuse me as the father of a IANS terrorist,” Pillai said.

The court in its hearing on Monday did not divulge details of the SIT report because it would prejudice and hamper further investigations. The court is now to decide which agency will conduct further probe into the case. It sought suggestions from petitioners and the State government on whether to entrust the job to the CBI or the NIA. “The probe agency needs to find out who played the key role in the encounter... what was the motive and what was the actual time of the death of the four people,” the court said. The SIT report gave relief to Jahan's family, who called it a “victory because it washed away the terror blot police had stamped on us”. “She was innocent when she was alive, she was innocent when her body was brought to us. It is our victory,” her uncle Rauf Lala told reporters. Her mother Shamima Kausar thanked the court but said the justice was still awaited till the culprits were punished.
