The CBI had filed a chargesheet against the close aide of Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, Mr Amit Shah in the Tulsi Prajapati fake encounter case. This could prove to be a big blow on the government just before the assembly elections which would be held at the end of the year.

In the encounter of Tulsiram the whole top ranked police of Gujarat were deployed in the CID in the encounter that happened in December 2006 and it was mentioned by the CBI in the chargesheet it filed with the Banaskantha court.

The CBI alleged that Amit Shah, who was close to the CM Narendra Modi was accused of murder, conspiracy and destruction of evidence.
They had also included R K Patel the CID deputy SP who was investigating the case along with his seniors to the level of  DGP and they would all have to face an arrest.
