Vanzara allowed to return to Gujarat
Ahmedabad, Apr 03, 2016, DHNS:
A special CBI court on Saturday overruled objections by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and modified its order to allow retired IPS officer D G Vanzara, key accused in the Ishrat Jahan and Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter cases, to return to his home state Gujarat.
“Today Ahmedabad CBI court has cleared my entry into Gujarat. Now I will be able to go to my residence at Gandhinagar after 9 years. God is great,” Vanzara tweeted the court’s order. With this, Vanzara is now free to move across the country and not confided to Mumbai.
In his plea before special judge S J Raje, Vanzara claimed that his life was under threat in Mumbai where hardcore criminals like Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel, besides several terror outfits, are active. He had also cited medical reasons and parity with the other accused who continue to live in Gujarat.
Vanzara, who was first arrested on April 24, 2007, and released from jail in February last year, was confined to Mumbai due to the bail conditions imposed by the Bombay High Court.
