New Delhi: CBI might question close Narendra Modi aide Amit Shah in connection with the Ishrat Jahan encounter case after claims made by jailed IPS officer D G Vanzara that Gujarat government was "inspiring, guiding and monitoring" every police action from "very close quarters".



CBI sources said Vanzara, during his questioning by CBI in Sabarmati Jail, has reiterated the stand taken by him in the resignation letter that police officials accused in various encounter cases were merely implementing "conscious policy" of the state government towards terrorism.

Highly-placed sources said that no final decision has been taken on the issue of questioning Shah but Vanzara's statement is under examination and if needed, the former minister could be quizzed during the investigations.

They said the agency would be filing supplementary charge sheets in connection with the encounter case giving details of the conspiracy and alleged cover up by officials of Gujarat government.
