After Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley’s disclosure that Ishrat Jahan was working for Lashkar-e-Taiba, has backed Gujarat police’s stand that she was a terrorist and the gun-battle in which she was killed was “genuine”, retired IPS officer D G Vanzara said today.
Ishrat, the 19-year-old college girl, and three others were killed in 2004 in an alleged fake encounter by police in Gujarat. Vanzara, who was then DCP of Ahmedabad crime branch at the time when encounter took place, was granted bail by a Mumbai court in February 2015. Vanzara is barred from entering Gujarat by the court. Presently, he resides in Mumbai.
