CBI opposes Soren's bail plea

NEW DELHI: Opposing the bail plea of former Union Minister and JMM leader Shibu Soren, sentenced by a trial court to life imprisonment for killing his private secretary Shashi Nath Jha, CBI today submitted in the Delhi High Court that there was enough evidence against him for having master-minded the murder. Appearing for CBI, Additional Solicitor General Amrender Sharan told the Bench of Justice Manmohan Sarin and Justice S L Bhayana that to establish the charge of kidnapping, the probe agency had evidence that Jha was pushed inside a white Ambassador car near Dhaula Kuan area in Delhi on May 22, 1994.

The victim was also last seen in the company of Soren loyalists in a village near Ranchi next day, ASG argued. Claiming that the trial court had convicted Soren and five others on the basis of the evidence collected by CBI, he submitted that the past conduct of Soren had established criminal bent of mind as he had gone underground for few days soon after the news about Jha going missing spread. A Delhi trial court had on December 26, 2006, convicted Soren and four others for abduction and murder of Jha. According to the prosecution, Jha's body was exhumed from Piska village near Ranchi in 1998.- PTI
