Here is some data from National Human Right Commission (NHRC).
"According to an NHRC report, the worst-hit State is UP with 68 fake encounters in 2003-04 and 54 in 2004-05. The figures were nine and five, respectively, for Andhra while Gujarat reported one in 2004-05. But as Balgopal points out, the figures do not reflect ground reality as the NHRC only investigates instances brought to its notice."
Here is another interesting statistic from NHRC on fake encounter cases disposed of during 2004-2005. Gujarat had just one fake encounter while the Congress-ruled Andhra Pradesh had five, SP ruled UP had 54 and the Congress ruled Haryana had four. While Gujarat has only five encounter cases pending, Andhra Pradesh had 21, Congress ruled Maharashtra had 29, UP had 175, the Capital 18 despite Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh at the helm and the Congress ruled Uttaranchal had 14.
It is for anybody to see that in fake encounter cases Gujarat has just one. But let me give the example of Ishrat Jahan, a terrorist who was liquidated along with Lashkar-e-Toiba men at the entry point of Gujarat, a few years back.
