Headline: CFSL report says M C Sharma was killed by terrorist bullets Dated: 22 Jan 2009 Source: UNI Text: Delhi Police today placed before the Delhi High Court a report of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory(CFSL) which states that police officer M C Sharma who was there during the Batla House encounter was killed by the terrorist bullets and from a distance of 20 feet. Delhi Police said the encounter was between the terrorists who fired from inside the Batla house at the police officer who had gone there to nab them. The court directed the Delhi Police to submit the report of the entire Batla House encounter by February 11. The police had also filed a report to the NHRC which has sought a magisterial inquiry in the matter. The Court asked Delhi police to explain why the magisterial inquiry was not conducted so far and made NHRC also a party in the case. A bench comprising Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice Sanjive Khanna issued notice to NHRC to explain their stand in the matter. A petition was filed in the Delhi High Court earlier that the accused in the Batla house encounter have been framed by the police. The Court had directed that the inquiry of the shootout and killing of Mr Sharma should be done according to the NHRC's guidelines.
