The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned former Gujarat minister Amit Shah to Delhi for questioning in connection with the alleged fake encounter death of Tulsiram Prajapati in 2006.
 
Prajapati was said to be a key witness to the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausarbi.
 
Shah, considered a close aide of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, is likely to be questioned tomorrow, a CBI official said today.
 
Prajapati was killed in an alleged shoot out in Banaskantha district on December 28, 2006.
 
The CBI took over the case in April last year on directions from the Supreme Court and registered a case against police officials of Gujarat and Rajasthan and others.
 
The FIR was registered following the apex court's directions on a writ petition filed by Narmada Bai, Prajapati's mother.
 
His mother had alleged that he was killed in a fake enounter by the Gujarat police as he was a key eyewitness in the 2005 killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausarbi.
