Why exactly are Amit Shah’s phone calls suspicious?

A question that has been posed after last night’s revelation about calls made between Amit Shah and DG Vanzara as to why are Amit Shah’s call suspicious? Why is Home Minister talking to a Police Officer termed as ‘revealing’? The answer is multi-pronged.Serial No. Caller 1 Caller 2 Date-Time Remarks
1 Vanzara Amit Shah (R) 1/6/04 23:22 The day Rajinder Kumar generated the fake intelligence input
2 Vanzara Amit Shah (R) 8/6/04 23:54 About 36 hours before Amin/Barot start camping to intercept Javed-Ishrat
3 Vanzara Amit Shah 14/6/04 22:57 Night before the encounter
4 Vanzara Amit Shah 15/6/04 6:10 40 minutes after the encounter! Amit Shah himself calls Vanzara
5 Vanzara Amit Shah 15/6/04 7:09 1:40 hours after the encounter
The very first aspect that has to be noted is that Vanzara is a prime accused in the conspiracy of the Javed-Ishrat case. At this stage of investigation, any contacts made by the prime accused with any other person during the period of the conspiracy or the commission of crime, the person stands as a suspect.
In the present case, it is even more suspicious because as per the protocol, on all official transactions, the Minister of State for Home speaks to the head of the departments of police. This is further illustrated in the observation CBI has made in their charge sheet in the case of Tulsiram Prajapati.
“As per the official protocol, a Minister of State for Home, Government of Gujarat would be normally expected to talk/ discuss with the Home Secretary and/ or the Chief Secretary, and further, if he were to be so briefed, then also, he would be expected to talk/ discuss with the Chief of the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) or the Crime Branch”
Vanzara was neither the chief of ATS or chief the Crime Branch, in fact he was just a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and there are 28 such DIGs in the state of Gujarat. So the onus is therefore on the Home Minister to explain as to what he was speaking about with a low level officer who has now proven to have been committing a crime at that very moment.
More importantly all the calls made between Amit Shah and Vanzara match the timing and sequence of events as described by multiple police personnel of the Gujarat State in their CrPC 164 and 161 statements that describes the unfolding of the conspiracy. In the backdrop of the abundant evidence that the encounter was a staged one,
What were Amit Shah and Vanzara speaking about just few hours before the ghastly encounter? (Refer to Call 3 in the table)
What explains Amit Shah calling Vanzara 40 minutes after the encounter at 6:10 a.m on 15th June? None of the policemen who were reportedly present at the scene of crime have said that any one of them had spoken to Amit Shah immediately after the encounter. If it was a ‘genuine’ encounter as claimed by the Gujarat Police, how come Amit Shah knew about it at the ungodly hour of 6:10 a.m. and instead of calling the Commissioner of Police, he has to call up the prime accused Vanzara?
What explains all the midnight calls in the table above between a Home Minister and a police officer of the rank of DIG during that period? (Refer Call 1 and Call 2)
Lastly it should be remembered that Call Data Records (CDR) are an important tool for investigation as it reveals the connections between the co-accused and no investigation can be complete before the analyzing the CDR.
It would therefore be appropriate that the CBI should summon Amit Shah to reply to all the questions posed by us
