Rubabuddin Shaikh, the younger brother of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, the only family member present in the special CBI court on Friday, said that with nobody held responsible for his brother’s death, he will have to conclude that Sohrabuddin had killed himself. Rubabuddin, who had deposed before the trial court on November 17 as a prosecution witness, had claimed that he had filed a petition in the SC after he was informed that his brother’s encounter was not genuine. “The journey was not easy, we had put in so much effort, right from seeking a CBI investigation before Supreme Court in 2006. But I will pursue the appeal till Supreme Court,” he said. Besides Rubabuddin, his two other brothers, Nayamuddin Shaikh and Shahnawazuddin Shaikh, had also been included as prosecution witnesses.
