Ahmedabad, Sep 30 (ANI): The Home Ministry has filed a revised affidavit in the Ahmedabad court against the Narendra Modi led-Government's argument over the fake encounter of 19-year-old Gujarat college girl Ishrat Jahan and three others.

The three-page affidavit was prepared by the Home Ministry and settled by the Attorney General GE Vahanvati.

According to reports, the affidavit will clarify that the information given by the Centre was a tip off and does not validate the action taken by Gujarat Government, which led to the death of Jahan and three others.

Earlier, reports had also said that the Centre respects human values and is not only against the fake encounters, but against any encounter. (ANI)
