Neerja Gotru, Ahmedabad’s SP (Prohibition) who on the Supreme Court’s direction was assigned investigation of three post-Godhra riot cases in the Panchmahals, has been asked to wind up her probe.
Confirming that she had been told to submit her report, she said: ‘‘It is a sensitive matter. The investigations are nearly over. I have been asked to submit the probe report.’’
In the Ambika Society massacre case, she ordered the arrest of sub-inspector R J Patil for tampering with evidence by burning bodies of 13 victims without informing their relatives. She also got another massacre case re-opened after it had been closed for lack of evidence.
Reached for his comment, DGP A K Bhargav said: ‘‘Investigations are nearly over and she has already filed draft chargesheets. She has completed the task she was given.’’
