The one-man inquiry panel, set up to trace the missing files related to alleged fake encounter killing of Ishrat Jahan, will examine a few officers for the second time to find clues for recovering the documents which are yet to be found.
The panel of BK Prasad, Additional Secretary in the Home Ministry, will call a few officers, including RVS Mani, former Under Secretary, who was in-charge of Ishrat case affidavits. “After examination of over a dozen officers, several new facts have come to light. To corroborate these new information, questioning of a few officers again became necessary,” sources privy to the development said.
The panel has already recorded the statements of retired IAS officer Deverakonda Diptivilasa and serving IAS officers Dharmendra Sharma and Rakesh Singh and serving IPS officer MA Ganapathy.
All four officers were handling the key Internal Security-I division in the Home Ministry as Joint Secretary in different periods. While Diptivilasa is currently serving as non-official Director of public sector Corporation Bank, Sharma is at present with Delhi government. Singh is serving in Karnataka government. Ganapathy is now the DG of Uttarakhand police.
