Aug 14, 2013 |

A special CBI court on Tuesday sent senior IPS officer P.P. Pandey, an accused in 2004 Ishrat encounter killing case, in judicial custody, after he surrendered before the court here.

After the Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant him protection in the form of anticipatory bail, state additional director-general of police (crime) P.P. Pandey on Tuesday appeared before the special CBI court of additional chief judicial magistrate H.S. Khutwad and surrendered himself. The CBI, the investigating agency in the alleged fake encounter case, filed an application seeking 14 days’ custodial interrogation of Mr Pandey. The court has fixed the hearing on it on Wednesday.
The court sent Pandey in judicial custody till August 27 and said that it would hear the application of CBI for his remand on Wednesday. Mr Pandey, who had been evading arrest since long, was sent to Sabarmati central jail here.
He was the joint commissioner of police (crime), Ahmedabad, when Ishrat, a Mumbra-based student, Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar were gunned down by crime branch sleuths on June 15, 2004, near here. After his name surfaced in the encounter, Mr Pandey had gone underground from April this year.
