NEW DELHI: An investigative journalist has moved the Supreme Court, accusing several senior BJP leaders including Amit Shah, Prakash Javadekar, Bhupender Yadav and Ram Lal of conspiring to subvert the judicial proceedings into the murder of Tulsiram Prajapati in which Shah is a key accused.
Investigative journalist Pushp Sharma, who was formerly with Tehelka and Headlines Today claims, he has recordings of conversations with BJP MPs and leaders suggesting a vast conspiracy to save Amit Shah, right hand of Narendra Modi and BJP incharge for UP.
Javdekar, Yadav and Ram Lal, all senior leaders of the BJP, conspired to subvert the judicial process in the Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case by seeking undated blank Vakalatnamas from Prajapati’s mother Narmadabai. The purpose was to bail Amit Shah out, the reporter alleged.
The secret recordings are to be played at a press conference to be held at 4pm at the Press Club of India in New Delhi on Monday.
The leaders involved are Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Javdekar and also BJP spokesperson, the BJP Rajya Sabha MP Bhupendra Yadav and BJP general secretary (Organization) Ram Lal Gupta. Also involved in this murky game is former additional advocate general of the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh Manoj Dwivedi and his associate, advocate Govind Purohit, the petition filed on Monday says.
Amit Shah is an accused in the murder of Tulsiram Prajapati and Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausarbi.
A vakalatnama is an affidavit appointing a lawyer or a law firm to represent a litigant or defendant in a case in the court of law. “However, team Amit Shah could have used the same for dubious purposes like planting their own lawyers on behalf of Narmadabai or even making her go unrepresented in crucial court proceedings. It is for them to answer how they used or intended to use the Vakalatnamas. This is nothing but subversion of the judicial process and obstruction of justice,” a statement from the reporter said.
