National Herald has learned that three-and-a-half months after the mysterious death of CBI Judge BH Loya, a curious mix of guests all happened to stay at Ravi Bhawan in Nagpur at the same time. Ravi Bhawan is the same state guest house where Judge Loya was reportedly staying when he felt unwell and was taken to hospital, where he was declared dead on December 1, 2014.

Judge Loya, at the time of his death, was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh alleged fake encounter case, in which BJP President Amit Shah was an accused. Two-and-a-half months after he was discharged from this case by Loya’s successor, Amit Shah also came to stay at Ravi Bhawan.

The Ravi Bhawan guest register for March 2015, accessed by National Herald, shows that Amit Shah stayed there at the same time as Additional Solicitor General Anil C Singh—presently representing the CBI in the trial court in Mumbai in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. Also staying there at the same time was Justice NW Sambre—presently hearing petitions in the Bombay High Court against discharge of several IPS officers accused in the Sohrabuddin case.

Page number 155 of the Ravi Bhawan register shows, under entry number 925, that cottage numbers 3 and 7 were booked for Amit Shah. The next entry 926 shows that cottage number 8 was booked for Anil Singh. Entry number 926 A (a handwritten insertion) was booked in name of Supreme Court Judge UU Lalit. And entry number 927 shows cottage number 9 was booked in the name of Judge NW Sambre. An image of page 155 can be seen below:
