The Gujarat government on Wednesday said it has not accepted the resignation of fake encounter cases accused IPS officer D G Vanzara, who quit after indicting chief minister Narendra Modi.
"The resignation tendered by D G Vanzara has not been accepted," additional chief secretary (home) S K Nanda said on Wednesday.
He, however, didn't give any specific reasons behind doing so. Vanzara (59), a deputy inspector general of police (DIG) rank officer, suspended and behind the bars in a string of fake encounter cases, had resigned from the service accusing the Modi government of having failed to protect the jailed police officers who fought against "Pakistan-inspired terrorism".
A Gujarat-based NGO demanded Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s arrest and imposition of President's rule in the state. "Vanzara, in his resignation letter, has confessed he was the executioner of the larger conspiracy hatched at the highest level of the Gujarat government. It is time Modi and other Ministers involved in it are arrested and President's rule imposed in the state," Jan Sangharsh Manch Convener Amrish Patel said.
CPI(M) asked Modi to step down and sought his prosecution following charges levelled against him and his government by Vanzara.
