Encounter victim's father doubts Headley revelations

Gopinath Pillai, father of Gujarat encounter victim Pranesh Kumar who was among the four killed along with Ishrat Jahan, today expressed "doubts" over the deposition by Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley that she was an LeT terrorist.
"The incident occurred in 2004. Did Headley have to wait till 2016 to say this.. Or did someone make him say so?" Pillai asked while speaking to reporters here.
Pillai was reacting to Headley's startling deposition that Jahan was an LeT suicide bomber.
"Four people were killed. Some had made Gujarat police do this to destroy evidence," Pillai, who had all along maintained that his son Kumar alias Javed Shaikh was shot dead by Gujarat police in a "fake" encounter near Ahemadabad in 2004, said.

Headley today deposed before a Mumbai court via video link that Ishrat Jahan -- who was killed in an alleged fake encounter in 2004 in Gujarat--was actually a suicide bomber of Lashkar-e-Taiba terror outfit.
