Charges Dropped Against Last 3 Policemen Accused In Ishrat Jahan Case

A special CBI court on March 31 dropped charges against the last three accused policemen in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case. The charges were dropped after the Gujarat government did not grant permission for the prosecution of the accused. The accused - IPS officer GL Singhal, retired DySP Tarun Barot and assistant sub-inspector Anaju Chaudhary - were charged of extrajudicial killing of Ishrat Jahan and three others in alleged fake encounter in June 2004.
