Claiming it had made “significant progress” in its probe into the killing of Sohrabuddin Shaikh in a fake encounter, police on Saturday gained custody of three senior IPS officials arrested in the case for three more days to investigate the murder of his wife Kausar Bi.

Controversial IPS official D G Vanjhara, however, claimed that the charges against him were “interpolation and concocted”. A calm, composed and unruffled Vanjhara smiled at reporters in the court when he was brought there by the CID. “We have made significant progress in the case. We have found out where Kausar Bi was killed,” Public Prosecutor N H Saini told the court that extended the police remand of Vanjhara, SP Rajkumar Pandiyan, SP Dinesh M N.
