AHMEDABAD: After the chargesheeting of Gulab Chand Kataria, the former home minister of Rajasthan and the present leader of opposition in the Rajasthan assembly , BJP leader Arun Jaitley lost no time in announcing that the real target of the CBI was the Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. He quoted a CBI officer’s noting in the documents before the court in the Sohrabuddin-Kauserbi-Tulsiram killings as saying, “I especially underline the importance of Annexure-C for its potential in respect to the chief minister also.”
Case documents available with TOI quotes the CBI as saying, “Amit Shah was instrumental in the acts of commission and omission by the officers in the investigation of this case. Although the files for these administrative decisions in respect of these officers were definitely put up to the chief minister also for final orders as per the rules of business in respect of All India Service officers, the primary responsibility for suggesting at the ministerial level the course of action was of Amit Shah.”

In the said annexure, the investigating officer had pointed out to the fact that the government in the middle of December 2006, a few days before Tulsiram Prajapati was murdered at Ambaji near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border, transferred D G Vanzara from ATS Ahmedabad to the post of DIG, Border Range, from where he had carried out the entire operation of the kidnapping and fake encounter of Prajapati . This decision to transfer Vanzara could not have been taken by Amit Shah as per the rules of the business and it was only the chief minister who could have finally passed the order. Other instance of decisions which only Modi could have taken have been enumerated by the CBI.

Modi rewards

CBI says these are 3 rewards only Modi could have given.

P C Pande

The then DGP P C Pande was rewarded with a post-retirement berth as the chairman of Gujarat State Police Housing Corporation which enables him to retain his official bungalow and allied perks.

O P Mathur

The then ADGP O P Mathur was given the promotion to the rank of DGP, though a departmental enquiry having serious charges of moral turpitude was pending against him. The chargesheet in the above enquiry was dropped in September 2008 and he was promoted thereafter. And even after his retirement he was appointed as the director general of Raksha Shakti University.

Geetha Johri

A departmental enquiry was dropped against Anil Johri, IFS, husband of Geetha Johri, which included serious charges of corruption. This enquiry was later diluted in October 2008. A residential plot which was initially allotted to Geetha Johri and Anil Johri at a concessional rate by the government was later changed to some other plot of Geetha Johri’s choice without charging the premium. Geetha Johri’s name was recommended by the home department for the award of President’s Police Medal for distinguished services in the year 2009, even though reportedly she did not figure in the panel initially proposed by the DGP.
