A CBI court on Wednesday rejected the agency's demand for a seven-day custody of former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, arrested for the 2005 killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special judge AI Raval's ruling stunned the agency. "The CBI may challenge the decision. The CBI may go to the high court," a source in CBI said.
