Ahmadabad, December 25: An accused in the Sadiq Jamal fake encounter case, retired DySP I A Saiyed surrendered before the CBI court on Monday morning. Additional chief judicial magistrate H S Khutwad sent the retired cop to jail.

 

Saiyed was posted as a police inspector with the DCB crime during the time of the encounter early in 2003. He was later transferred to the CID (crime).

 

Saiyed told the court in an application that he could not appear before the CBI on December 21due to ill health. He also said that he appeared before the court because he heard that the CBI had arrested five cops last week and were produced before the court.

 

With Saiyed's surrender, retired DySP K M Vaghela remained the only cop to be arrested in this case. The CBI has obtained a warrant against him. Vaghela was posted with the State Human Rights Commission and awarded a police medal for meritorious service on Independence Day in 2009.

 

Earlier, the probe agency arrested Mumbai journalist Ketan Tirodkar on charges of murder, criminal conspiracy, illegal detention, abduction and abetment. However, CBI has not filed a chargesheet against him. He is the only person who has been bailed out in this case.

 

Those chargesheeted in this case are suspended DySP Tarun Barot, J G Parmar, G H Gohil, R L Mavani, Chhatrasinh Chudasama and Ajaypal Yadav along with Saiyed and Vaghela.

 

Sadiq was gunned down near Galaxy Cinema in Naroda on January 13, 2003, where the crime branch sleuths were already waiting for him.

Mumbai, May 10: Air India, which is operating flights to evacuate Indians stranded in foreign countries, have asked its pilots to undertake coronavirus test before they operate such flights, the sources said.

"Five Air India pilots have tested positive for coronavirus. These pilots were tested one after one. We suspect it could be a case of faulty testing kit as well," one of the sources said.

The five pilots fly Boeing 787 planes, the second source said.

Air India spokesperson did not offer any comment.

A senior airline official said the five pilots had not operated any flight in the last three weeks.

"These pilots had operated cargo flights to China prior to April 20," the official said.
