Shah was referring to the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case filed against him when he was the Gujarat home minister.

Speaking at ‘News 18 Rising India’ programme, Shah alleged that during the entire interrogation, he was forced to frame PM Modi. “I will tell you how agencies are misused, I have been a victim of it. The Congress did not file a corruption case against us. There was an encounter when I was the home minister of Gujarat. A case was filed against me and the CBI arrested me."
 

"In 90 per cent of the questions during my interrogation, I was asked why I was getting bothered and they said they would leave me if I name Narendra Modi. I was told ‘Modi ka naam de do, de do,” he said.
