Gulberg Society: Jaffri phone records missing,admits SIT

Special Judge B U Joshi ordered further investigations in the case under Section 173 (8) of the CrPC after S M Vora,the counsel for the witnesses and Citizens for Justice and Peace,filed a detailed application pointing out that SIT investigations were incomplete.

Vora said SIT had failed to complete investigations after the statement of Tehelka journalist Ashish Khaitan,a witness in the case,was recorded. It,Vora added,had also failed to investigate station diary entries,fire brigade register and did not produce Jaffri’s phone diaries. He said questions still abound as to who destroyed his phone records and when were they destroyed.

Vora,in his application,also detailed the slipshod manner of recording the panchnamas in the case wherein the roles of several policemen needed to be investigated.
