A woman police officer and another witness today testified before the special CBI court here which is conducting trial of the RTI activist Shehla Masood murder case.
Police officer Deepa Khare and witness Tahir Khan recorded their statements before judge Rajiv Kumar Ayachi.
Defence lawyer Sunil Shrivastava said that Deepa was posted with CBI on deputation and in her presence three cell phones found in the office of the main accused Zahida Pervez were seized. Also, the handwriting samples of co-accused Saba Faroqui were collected in her presence.
Khan, earlier produced as a prosecution witness, has turned hostile. Today, while testifying on alleged phone conversation between Danger (one of the accused) and another person about the murder, he did not back CBI's case, the lawyer said.
"Khan did not confirm CBI's story that Danger used his mobile phone for talking with another person about Shehla's murder," said the defence lawyer.
Shehla was shot dead in front of her house in Bhopal on August 16, 2011.
