In furtherance of my statement dated 11.04.2013, I further state as follows the details of how I
had been coerced to participate in and help in certain activities by persons in positions of
power for obstructing the process of law and also for abusing the process of law generally,
including the investigation of this case.
In the month of August 2010, when the former inister of !tate "#ome$ of the !tate, !hri Amit
!hah, was in %udicial custody after being arrested by the &'I in the case relating to the death
of !ohrabuddin in a false encounter, I was called by him several times to meet him at
!abarmati (ail, Ahmedabad. I had complied. )wing to his influence, and because of my
privileges as the !* of A+!, I was not made to sign the visitors, register in the %ail. !hri Amit
!hah had as-ed me to help in obtaining the retractions of !hri .amanbhai *atel and !hri
/ashrathbhai *atel of *opular 'uilders, who are important witnesses against him in the case.
As directed by him, I had met along with these two brothers !hri 'hupendrasinh &hudasama,
a senior member of the ruling party and a former &abinet inister, 0u%arat !tate. +he meeting
had ta-en place at 1illa *anchayat 0uest #ouse, 0andhinagar, in the month of August 2010.
!hri 'hupendrasinh &hudasama had stated that he had directions from the &hief inister
!hri 2arendra odi for these two witnesses to turn hostile, in lieu of which he had stated that
the &hief inister had promised all protection and immunity. !hri 'hupendrasinh &hudasama
had also as-ed !hri .amanbhai *atel and !hri /ashrathbhai *atel to spea- to the &hief
inister on phone but they had become very nervous and had declined the offer. In the case
of !ohrabuddin and +ulsi *ra%apati encounters, I was made to perform several other acts
against my will for the purpose of meddling in the investigation by the &'I. I would need time
to seriali3e and recount the acts in a coherent fashion.
In the latter half of 2004, when I was posted as !* ")perations$ in Anti +errorist !5uad "A+!$
at Ahmedabad, !hri Amit !hah had directed me several times to watch the movements of !hri
*radeep !harma, who was then posted as unicipal &ommissioner, 'havnagar. #e had also
as-ed me to put a watch on a young woman named ansi !oni from 'hu%. I had deputed
some men of the &rime 'ranch "as A+! was short of subordinate staff$ to follow her, as
directed by !hri Amit !hah.
)n being as-ed I further state that in 2ovember 2011, when the !I+ was about to submit its
final report to the #on,ble #igh &ourt, a meeting was held in the private office of !hri 6amal
+rivedi, Advocate 0eneral. +his office is in a building called &hambers on the !0 #ighway. In
that meeting, apart from me and my advocate friend, !hri .ohit 7erma, the following were
present8
!hri 6amal +rivedi8 Advocate 0eneral "A0$, 0u%arat
!hri *raful *atel8 inister of !tate "o!$, #ome, 0overnment of 0u%arat
!hri *radipsinh (ade%a8 inister of !tate "o!$, 9aw, 0overnment of 0u%arat
!hri 'hupendrasinh &hudasama
!hri 0& urmu, IA!, !ecretary to the &
!hri A6 !harma, I*!, I0* 0andhinagar .ange
!hri +arun A 'arot, /y!* ehasana
In this meeting, the !I+ members, roles and what to do further was discussed. +here was a
suggestion to challenge the report. As I and my team members were potential accused in this
serious case, I was assured that lawyers would be made available to me and my subordinate
officers and men in the team.
In 2004, !hri A6 !harma had procured four special mobile phones manufactured by a
0erman company :nigma. +hese phones could scramble; encrypt voice signals for secrecy
even if the phones were intercepted. )ne each of these instruments with was given by !hri
!harma to !hri 0& urmu, !hri ** *andey and me, while he used the fourth one. +he sim
cards were ta-en by us individually, often in the name of a subordinate. I had the number
4<1240134=. >e used to tal- regarding the encounter cases and our tactics over these
phones.
.ead over and admitted to be correctly recorded.
