BJP MP was in touch with RTI activist's killer: CBI

-The Times of India

AHMEDABAD: Was BJP MP Dinu Solanki in touch with a prime accused in the murder of RTI activist Amit Jethava, who was gunned down outside Gujarat high court on July 20, 2010? The CBI is investigating a possible link between Solanki and Bahadursinh Vadher, a constable who is the prime accused in the case.

The central agency questioned the MP for the third consecutive day in Ahmedabad on Thursday. CBI sources claim they have tracked down a mobile phone which was being used by Solanki at the time of the murder, though it was not registered in the politician's name. Jethava was gunned down days after he filed a PIL alleging that Solanki was involved in illegal mining in Gir sanctuary. The Ahmedabad crime branch took up the probe and arrested six people, including Vadher and Dinu's nephew, Shiva Solanki for conspiracy and planning the murder.

The case was first investigated by the Ahmedabad crime branch but the Gujarat high court later handed over the probe to Surendranagar superintendant of police, Raghvendra Vats. Both agencies had given a clean chit to the BJP MP. Expressing dissatisfaction over the police investigations, the HC had handed over probe to CBI in 2012. The MP has challenged the HC order in the Supreme Court.

Shiva recently won in the municipal elections in Kodinar from the Sabarmati Central Jail where he has been lodged since his arrest.
