Behara gave "clean chit" to Modi, Shah in Ishrat Jahan case:

Stirring up a controversy, Congress State president Mullappally Ramachandran has alleged that DGP Loknath Behara, a former senior NIA officer, had given "clean chit" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah in cases relating to the Gujarat riots and Ishrat Jahan alleged fake encounter.

Ramachandran, who had served as minister of State for Home Affairs for five years in the Manmohan Singh cabinet in 2009, made the allegation at a meeting of the Youth League in Vatkara in Kozhikode district last night.

Reacting to the allegation, BJP Rajya Sabha MP, V Muraleedharan told PTI "if Behara had done anything wrong as Ramachandran has claimed, why was no action taken?" ..

which means, he supported the wrongdoing when he was a minister."
This included "those relating to the biggest riots the country has seen-- the Gujarat violence, Ishrat Jahan case (relating to the "encounter" killing of a 19-year-old woman and three others on the outskirts of Ahmedabad) and lots of other cases in which Modi, (who was then Gujarat chief minister) and Amit Shah, were co-accused," he said
The congress leader said the report had "amused all of us."
