A file photo of GL Singhal
At a time when the BJP central leadership has been contemplating on making former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah, the General Secretary of the BJP, the arrest of GL Singhal on the afternoon of 21 February has come in as a huge setback to Modi and Shah. Tehelka which was the first to have reported and produced evidence of Singhal’s complicity had published specific IB inputs and progress reports by the CBI which put senior intelligence and anti-terrorist cops in the dock. This afternoon a team of CBI officials who had parked themselves in Gandhinagar for the last three days arrested Singhal and at the time of filing this piece, his official residence is being searched by the CBI. Singhal is not the only officer involved in the fake encounter of Ishrat Jahan who was killed on charges of being a Lashkar terrorist out to kill Narendra Modi. The CBI has already charged DG Vanzara and Rajkumar Pandian who are in CBI custody for their role in the fake encounter of Tulsiram Prajapati and Sohrabuddin.
A team of CBI officials is also in Mumbai to take requisite permission for the questioning of ex-encounter cops and IB officials from Maharashtra. When questioned about the role of Intelligence officials at the Centre, CBI officials told Tehelka that they are taking cognisance of the Intelligence inputs provided by Tehelka and the concerned officials have already been questioned. It must be noted that it was Tehelka whose evidence against Amit Shah in the form of call records and internal notes had led to the arrest of the first serving state Home Minister in the history of the country. Besides the Ishrat Jahan encounter, the CBI has also been given charge of three other encounters including Sadiq Jamal, Tulsi Ram Prajapati and Sohrabuddin fake encounter. The CBI is all set to arrest some more officials in the Ishrat Jahan case in Gujarat tommorrow.

Ghost Of Fake Encounters Comes Back To Haunt Gujarat
A CBI progress report on the four fake encounters of 2004-2007 in Gujarat establishes what TEHELKA has been saying all along. Now, senior policemen and IB officials face arrests in these cases, says Rana Ayyub (This article was first published on 08 June 2012). Read More>
It’s not just Ishrat Jahan. Rana Ayyub accesses exclusive intelligence inputs and pieces together a damning trail on another encounter in Gujarat. The story of Sadiq Jamal’s death raises uncomfortable questions the government might find difficult to answer. Read More>
BREAKTHROUGH EXPOSÉ: So Why Is Narendra Modi Protecting Amit Shah?
‘The calls made by the minister are not part of official decorum. Their frequency is unnatural and uncommon in nature.’ — Gujarat CID report on Amit Shah’s calls to encounter cops. Read More>
Another land mark contribution by TEHELKA, after the incredible contribution by Ashish Khetan (of Tehelka) in the historic verdict of Naroda Patya riot case.
Good work, congratulations Tehelka. Be worthy of ‘ free, fair, fearless’ and move forward.
After seeing this article i was wonder how long i would be safe in my own country…… what a kind of act is this? is this for what IPS officers are trained…. u guys are about to save people… all are thinking that we muslims are safe in this country because of Police forces? here’s my note we are safe here not cos of you cops, but with the friends and sorrounding’s we got like a brotherhood……
No one knows better than Modi that ‘GHOSTS’ will never stop hounding and haunting , till the end , the “hands” ghastly stained with ‘ BLOOD OF INNOCENTS’. Hence the need for Modi to employ legion of ‘GHOST HUNTERS’. !!
What she is doing is known to everyone. Advocate Mukul Sinha of Ahemdabad provided call details to Tehelka. Why all this was done its open fact now. Why IPS SInghal is arrested when parliament session is about to begin?
Why timing is always clear indicator be it Afjal Guru or Ajmal kasab hanging?
In this Tehelka self glorification song , its an attempt to please their own political masters.
Nexus of Mukul Sinha along with some people is disguise in media business play the story to serve their own interests, its known fact now.
Enough evodence are there which shall sing reverse tune once the Center gov goes.
‘Business of articulation’ is projected as ‘Business of Truth’…at the right time step by step character assisination of Political Leaders on the name of journalism will come in light.
Its just what you can do and known to do but media is operating in free market and in market ‘insiders are always sold commodity’.
This nexus shall come in light soon when same heat of law will haunt them.
Mukul sinha, Rana, Arjun Modvadia its all where stories are cooked and catered.
Need more evidence? Visual proof?
Agenda stories won’t stand in public or court. Single reversal story shall prove why all this was going on in journalism, the day someone shall place proofs of this 3 in court.
Till then just wait and watch!
Long Live democracy
Rahul Sinha, you’re an idiot. You wouldnt know the meaning of the word “evidence” if it cam and bit you in the ass. Waste of oxygen, you are.
One more bomb blast in Hyderabad… One more proof on Congress soft on terror… After long time blast took place immediately after Shinde statement of saffron terror which convey quick signal to terrorist about govt. soft approach…
Congress never be serious to counter terror since their leaders visiting terror family frequently… Moral of police getting down since they have to face probe against terror encounter…
Pota removed and no strict terror law exists…
All these just to wow minor for their votes… Will Muslim understand this and come out from the trap of congress vote bank politics…
Bipin do you expect all Hindus to come out and protest when Abhinav Bharat or Santhan Sanstha were caught organising and executing bomb blasts around the country?
In any case, a simple google search will should that almost all major muslim groups immidiately condmended the bomb blasts from the Owasis and MIM leaders in Hyderbad to even sepratists leaders in Kashmir and everyone in between.
I am appalled at the BLIND support Modi and Amit Shah and BJP get, even after evidence stacking on them. Also shame on people who drag congress party into everything on the internet.
Well done Tehelka. Keep up the good work.
