A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court against BJP MPs Prakash Javdekar and Bhupendra Singh Yadav alleging that they tried to impede investigation in the Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case in which former Gujarat Home minister Amit Shah is the main accused.
The petition,filed by a journalist on the basis of a sting operation,alleged that attempts were made by the MPs to impede the trial and other judicial proceedings in this regard by manipulating the complainant with the sole intent to protect Shah. The MPs,however,declined to comment on the charges.
Pushp Kumar Sharma,the petitioner,alleged that he had captured the criminal conspiracy hatched and executed by MPs,senior BJP leaders and advocates on concealed cameras as part of his undercover investigation. He also filed CDs of the video footage along with his petition.
