A former special director of Intelligence Bureau Rajendra Kumar said on Friday that he will file a complaint with the Centre and in court against a senior Central Bureau of Investigation officer and some Congress leaders for trying to frame him in the Ishrat Jahan "fake encounter" case. Kumar's move came following Pakistani-American terror accused David Headley revelation on Thursday that Jahan, who was killed in an encounter by Gujarat Police in 2004, was a Lashkar-e-Taiba suicide bomber,

Kumar was the chief of Gujarat IB unit when Jahan and three accomplices were killed. The police team responsible for the encounter said that the four people they killed were involved in a plot to assassinate then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

"I am getting more and more material to proceed against those who tried to set me and other IB officers up by distorting or suppressing facts. I will consult my legal adviser and file a complaint with the government or in the court," Kumar told the Times of India on Friday. He also said that United Progressive Alliance ministers asked him to give a statement implicating the Gujarat government in the encounter case. However, he refused to give a false statement, after which the CBI chargesheeted him in the case.
