A witness in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case on Saturday told a special court that Shaikh had killed former Gujarat home minister, Haren Pandya. He was murdered in 2003 in Ahmedabad.

The witness said he met Shaikh in 2002 and became friends with him and his wife Kausar Bi and associate Tulsi Prajapati. "During that time, Sohrabuddin told me that he had got money from DG Vanzara to kill Haren Pandya and he completed the job," the witness told the court.
