Chidambaram claims media reports substantiate his stand in the Ishrat Jahan case

New Delhi, Jun 16 (IBNS): Veteran Congress leader and former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Thursday that his claims about the Ishrat Jahn case has been substantiated as media reports point to a witness being "tutored" by an officer probing the missing file case.
Additional Secretary from the Home Ministry, BK Prasad, submitted his inquiry report on the missing files on Wednesday. Reportedly, Prasad has said that four of the five missing documents continue to be untraceable.
 
Quoting ministry sources, NDTV reported that Prasad's inquiry establishes that documents on the 2004 killing of 19-year-old college student Ishrat Jahan and three others by the Gujarat police had indeed gone missing when Chidambaram was home minister.
 
The BJP had alleged that the missing files were part of the Congress-led government's ploy to amend its own documents and replace it with a new one that would not contain any reference to Ishrat Jahan's supposed link with the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist outfit.
 
The Congress had claimed that Ishrat Jahan was an innocent student who had been shot on the orders of the Gujarat government, media reported. P Chidambaram was the Home Minister then.
