From corruption to murder? Nitin Gadkari-linked case takes nasty turn

Nitin Gadkari

Mumbai The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing January 2010 murder of RTI activist Satish Shetty, on Friday conducted searches at the offices of IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited, a company which was recently in news over its links with BJP chief Nitin Gadkari.

"Searches are being conducted at four premises of IRB in Pune," a senior CBI official said on condition of anonymity without disclosing details.

A year before he was killed, Shetty had lodged a complaint with Pune police's crime branch about an alleged land scam involving IRB chairman Virendra Mhaiskar.

The CBI, which was handed over the probe by the Bombay High Court last year, had on October 24 conducted searches at 11 places in connection with the murder.

Shetty was killed as he stepped out of his house on January 13, 2010, at Talegaon Dabhade town in Pune district.

In 2009, Shetty had written a letter to the Pune police seeking protection as he was allegedly being threatened by Mhaiskar.

Shetty had alleged that IRB and its subsidiary companies with the connivance of bureaucrats prepared fake documents to claim ownership of government land.

The IRB group is said to have extended huge unsecured loans to Purti Sugar and Power Limited run by Gadkari. The company had bagged contracts from the Maharashtra government when Gadkari was Public Works Department minister in the state.

Will there be a similar enquiry by CBI on Sonia and Rahul on corruption charges levelled by Swami and Kejriwal ? Unfortunately, any such enquiry may end up like 2G or CWG, etc ! It is for the SC to take suo motto action in this regard.

India needs colonialists to rule to clean up the corruption and mockery by Shiva on 02 Nov 2012

There is a famous saying in Eelam that "one can trust a stomachache but not a North Indian". Now the world knows about the values of North Indian politicians that are full of corruption, crimes and crimes against humanity. There is no surprise that few BJP leaders and the UPA regime leaders have collaborating and entertaining the Sri Lankan Rajapakse regime that alleged to have committed the worst crimes against humanity and genocide of the 21st Century!
