The city crime branch has found definite leads to a political motive behind the murder of whistleblower and RTI activist Amit Jethava.

A top political leader from Saurashtra is being suspected of have paid to kill Jethava through his nephew identified as ‘Pratap' who is close to police constableBahadur Wadher from Kodinar in Junagadh.

The police are believed to have brought four more persons for questioning in this case, from Porbandar.

Pratap is currently president of the local municipality, against whom Jethava had also lodged a complaint. The allegations on him were that all the property that he built in the name of the community, were transferred to his own name and Jethava had filed an RTI on this. The revelations in this RTI led to the municipality being superseded.

The police also confirmed that it was Wadher who had escorted the sharpshooter Shailesh, to Ahmedabad and paid him off after the killing. Now the police are investigating, who had given the contract for murder. Jethava's father had alleged that his son's was a political murder .

The cops were mediators in the killing. A case was lodged in Sola police station. However, after the two cops were brought for questioning Ahmedabad policecommissioner SK Saikia, transferred the case to Ahmedabad crime branch. An investigation team of sub-inspectors from different police stations has been constituted to aid the crime branch.
