So this encounter too turned out to be a fake. There has been a total dearth of genuine encounters since Mr Nehru and Mrs Mountbatten. You can't blame China for all that's fake. Our country has had a long history of fakery. Fake passports, degrees, fake Viagra, jutta fake leather, fake smiles, orgasms and cricket. Sindhis of Ulhasnagar know they have been demonised for something Gujaratis have not been far behind in.However, the Gujarati Mr Modi is not called Feku for faking anything. He is called Feku for he indulges in fenkna (spinning yarns). Which is quite different from kite-flying, the sport Gujaratis excel at. Gandhiji spun, for his nation. Modiji spins for his carnation, which is a valid enough pursuit.Now the CBI says Ishrat Jahan became a victim of a spin. That Hindu Heart Samrat Modi wanted to be seen as the chief target of the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. And Gujarat Police officers conspired to unravel an LeT plot to kill Modi. So when Kashmiri cops tipped them off about an LeT terrorist really planning to kill Modi, they heaved a sigh of relief that they did not need to fake it. But when they picked up that terrorist, the cops were spotted by another man. When they picked up the other man, they were spotted by Ishrat. So they also picked up Ishrat and her friend. Then they were all killed on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. Three Intelligence Bureau officers supervised this operation and also procured the arms that were planted on the four dead bodies. This was the whole nine yards that CBI has spun and handed over to the court.The Intelligence Bureau, another Central government apparatus, continues to believe that Ishrat and three others were killed in an encounter, after it came to know that they were on their way to Gandhinagar to eliminate Mr Modi. Bureau tipped off the Gujarat Police and they managed to spot the blue Indica and killed the would-be killers.The matter has been in courts for nine years. India does not know which caged parrot to believe: its own IB or its own CBI? If the encounter was indeed fake then why aren't parents of the three boys killed coming forward? Is it okay to kill boys in fake encounters? If the boys had terrorist links why was Ishrat with such characters? Was she fooled into being a shield or was she brainwashed to yield? There are questions that have no easy answers. Some have no answers at all.For example, CBI says all this based on the statement of A who says he heard B talking about C and D having a conversation about bumping off Ishrat. Statements are not evidence but they do point towards evidence. Pawan Bansal's nephew Vijay Singla is an accused, so are the people who paid Singla to buy Bansal's favours. They have been giving statements. But the CBI gives Mr Bansal a clean chit.The CBI slams the Noida Police for insinuating that Rajesh Talwar killed his daughter Aarushi and their help Hemraj. Then goes on to arrest four servants in the area. The CBI says it has enough evidence to nail the Nepalis. Later the servants are released and CBI tells a court that the parents did it but it would like the case closed for lack of evidence. The court rejects the plea. The CBI now says it has enough evidence to nail the parents, because the parents did it.In many other cases, the CBI has seen success and credibility. But can you trust the CBI? The Supreme Court doesn't. No court should, for that matter. The courts should trust evidence. Only evidence. So what's the evidence in this case? We will see more evidence or lack of it in the days to come. What we might not see is establishment of a motive. If the encounter was created to make Modi look like a hero, it's clear who planned to profit from it. If that was the motive, then why is Mr Modi not even mentioned in the chargesheet? In fact, the chargesheet does away with the critical part of any criminal investigation. It answers what and how, but skips the WHY?This is why Isharat Jahan may never get justice. The CBI investigation is as fake as the encounter. It fails to nail Modi but succeeds in making it all communal. On the eve of elections, Congress would love to frustrate Modi's attempts to woo minorities. Modi, on the other hand, would not be too disappointed. He would love polarisation. It's a win-win situation for them. For truth, it's lose-lose.
