Amin tells court he fears fake encounter

Ahmedabad: An accused in fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh case, suspended DySP NK Amin told sessions court that IG (Prisons) Keshav Kumar intends to kill him in a staged encounter.
In an affidavit before court, alleging torture at the behest of the IPS officer, Amin has sought protection from court. Amin claimed that a sub-jailer had thrashed him on December 6 and he was not given medical treatment for four days.When he sent a complaint against Kumar to Sabarmati police station, the concerned officer tore the papers maintaining he should route his complaint through jail authorities only.
In his affidavit, Amin has stated that Kumar had deliberately misplaced a crucial diary in the lion poaching case, and that he has evidence against the IG, who supervised investigation in the case. Amin claimed that the IPS officer is fearing departmental inquiry once he discloses the evidence before court. To suppress him, Kumar has resorted to intimidatory tactics, said Amin's counsel VD Gajjar.
Claiming his innocence in the fake encounter case, Amin has also stated that he has got recordings of politicians involved in the case. The suspended cop has also complained that at the instance of Kumar, jail staff was not providing him with a laptop. Moreover, the computer he was using to complete his course at IGNOU has also be taken away.
Additional principal sessions judge PB Desai has kept hearing on this issue on Friday.
