The alleged encounter was carried out by a team led by DIG D.G. Vanjara, who was later jailed for his alleged involvement in theSohrabuddin Sheikh encounter.^[2] The police alleged that Ishrat and her associates were Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives involved in a plot to assassinate the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi. Later, an investigation was launched into the allegations that Ishrat was killed in a encounter. After a long investigation, in 2009, an Ahmedabad Metropolitan court ruled that the encounter was staged.^[3] The decision was challenged by the Gujarat State government, and taken to the High Court. On 3 July 2013, the CBI has filed its first chargesheet in an Ahmedabad court saying that the shooting was a staged encounter carried out in cold blood.^[4]
