| State police hand in `fake' |
| Director-General of Police M. A. Basith addressing a press conference in Hyderabad

| Director-General of Police M. A. Basith has asserted that no police official from Andhra Pradesh had extended support to the Gujarat police in the kidnap of Sohrabuddin and his wife Kauserbi, who were allegedly killed in a fake encounter.
"Informal inquiry with senior officials of different police wings has ruled out any involvement of the State police," Mr Basith stated at a press conference here on Tuesday. "If it is found that anyone had illegally extended cooperation to the Gujarat police, they will face action," he added. Fielding a volley of questions on the alleged logistical support extended by the local police to the fake encounter, Mr. Basith said no communication had been received from the Gujarat police about the slain persons. "There cannot be any informal arrangement or cooperation in such issues," he said dismissing charges of `discreet' help by some officials.
The Andhra Pradesh Government had sought the copies of the affidavit filed by the Gujarat Government in the Supreme Court. "There is no mention about the role of the Andhra Pradesh police in the encounter," he asserted. The affidavit had said that further investigations had been taken up in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
"We are in the process of securing further reports submitted in the apex court by Gujarat," he added.
Suicide bomb attack
Queried about the presence of Gujarat IPS officer Pandian in Hyderabad, Mr. Basith said he had come down to the city to visit the Task Force office, the target of a suicide bomb attack over a year ago. "He had stayed in the Police Officers Mess here and any senior officer is welcome to stay there," he added.
On the reluctance to order a probe into the role of State police, the DGP asked, "Where is the question of inquiry when the kidnapping of Sohrabuddin and his wife has not taken place in the State?"
