Some accused in the Naroda Gam massacre case of 2002 have moved a special court, seeking the prosecution of former IPS officer Rahul Sharma for allegedly misplacing a CD containing important call details related to the post-Godhra riots.
Defence lawyer Chetan Shah on Monday submitted an application in this regard on behalf of 65 accused before the trial court presided over by judge P B Desai. Eighty-three people, including former BJP Minister Maya Kodnani and VHP leader Jaideep Patel, have been made accused by the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigating Team (SIT) for the massacre at Naroda Gam.
Shah alleged Sharma had misplaced the original CD, which contained important call details of State functionaries during the communal violence, and submitted a duplicate of it before the inquiry commission headed by Justice G T Nanavati.
Sharma had allegedly handed over the CD to then Joint Police Commissioner PP Pandey, who has denied receiving any such disc.
