The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted its status report on the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case to the Supreme Court.
CBI in its status report has asked for the case to be shifted out of Gujarat as it feels that investigation cannot be carried out in an impartial manner in the State, ANI reported.
The CBI is also learnt to have said that it will investigate the fake encounter of Tulsiram Prajapati, the man who allegedly witnessed the killing of Sohrabuddin.
The apex Court had set July 31 as the deadline for the CBI to submit its status report into the case.
According to sources, former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah, who is in judicial custody till August 7, was not cooperating in the probe and there was a need to interrogate him.
Most of Shah's replies according to the agency were evasive.
Meanwhile, the CBI team is likely to seek permission from its headquarters to question Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the case.
