By The Assam Tribune

GANDHINAGAR, July 23 � In a big blow to the BJP government in Gujarat, junior Home Minister Amit Shah, a close aide of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, was today charged with murder by CBI in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case and may face arrest after he was denied anticipatory bail, reports PTI.

Shah, who has not been seen in public for several days and skipped Cabinet meetings and office, also failed to appear before the CBI earlier in the day for questioning for the second time in two days following summons issued twice, the deadline for which expired at 1 pm.

Shah�s anticipatory bail plea shortly after he failed to show up before the CBI was rejected by Special CBI court judge GK Upadhaya, heightening the possibility of his arrest.
