CBI summons ex-DGP in Sohrab case

Pandey was DGP when the state CID was investigating the fake encounter case.

There have been allegations that some police officials of Gujarat had tried to influence the investigation into the incident.

This is for the first time that Pandey has been called for questioning by CBI. It had earlier called other IPS officers,including G C Raigar and O P Mathur,for questioning in the case.

The Supreme Court handed over the fake encounter case to CBI in January this year. The investigating agency has so far arrested former minister of state for Home Amit Shah,IPS officer Abhay Chudasama and owners of Arham farm Rajendra Jirawala in the case.

CBI had interrogated Shah inside the Sabarmati jail yesterday.
