Arrests politically motivated, allege family members

Jaipur: Rowdy scenes were witnessed outside the additional chief judicial magistrate's (CBI cases) court after relatives of the four accused policemen gathered in huge numbers and started shouting slogans against chief minister Ashok Gehlot, alleging that the arrests made in the Dara Singh fake encounter case were politically motivated.
"In a fight between two political parties, these policemen who performed their duty with honesty are being victimized," said A H Khan, relative of Nisar Khan.The family members have threatened to launch an agitation. Earlier, advocates of the accused policemen accused the CBI of high-headedness as they were not allowed to meet their clients.
After the encounter in 2006, Singh's wife Sushila Devi lodged an FIR with Mansarovar police station under Sections 307, 332, 353 of the IPC and Section 3/25 of the Arms Act against the team of Rajasthan police.
ADG A K Jain and IG A Ponnuchami are also among the accused. The agency suspects involvement of a former BJP minister as well.
