21 days on, no trace of six accused policemen

Vadodara: More than three weeks have elapsed since they vanished, but police are still clueless about the cops accused of custodial death in the city. The disappearance has caused a major embarrassment for the investigators who are still trying to find the body of Sheikh Nishar Babu.
“Our teams are camping in Saurashtra and trying to trace the accused. We haven’t got any clue about them yet,” said Anupam Singh Gahlaut, city police commissioner.
One of the prime accused, police inspector Dharmendrasinh Gohil’s home is in Palitana, PSI Dashrath Rabari is a resident of Kheda, LRD Yogendrasinh Jilansinh has his home in Sabarkantha, Rajesh Savjibhai is from Morbi, Pankaj Mavji belongs to Amreli and Hitesh Shambhu is from Bhavnagar.
All the six cops had disappeared in the first week of July after a complaint of culpable homicide not amounting to murder was registered against them. The Gujarat high court later asked the city police to register a complaint of murder against all the six who are accused of causing death of Sheikh. Sheikh was picked up by the Fatehgunj police in December last year on suspicion of theft. His son later filed a police complaint after Sheikh went missing.
