AHMEDABAD, November 26, 2013 *Solanki’s judicial custody extended* A CBI court on Monday extended till December 9 the judicial custody of Junagadh BJP MP Dinu Bogha Solanki, arrested in RTI activist Amit Jethwa murder case. Jethwa had filed several RTI queries and also a PIL in the Gujarat High Court with regard to illegal mining in Gir Forest, the abode of Asiatic Lion. Solanki was arrested by the CBI in Delhi earlier this month for his alleged involvement in the killing of the activist and was brought to the city the next day on a transit remand. The CBI, which had initially sought his 14-day custodial remand for further interrogation, was granted four-day remand. After the remand period expired, the investigating agency produced him before the Court but did not seek further remand, following which ACJM H. S. Khutwad sent him to judicial custody till November 25. ACJM Khutwad on Monday extended Solanki’s judicial custody till December 9. The case was initially probed by the Gujarat Police, who had arrested six persons, including the MP’s nephew Shiva Solanki and alleged sharp-shooter Sailesh Pandya. Pandya is accused of gunning down Jethwa outside the Gujarat High Court on July 20, 2010. *However, the police had ruled out the possibility of Solanki’s involvement in the crime and gave him a clean chit, following which the slain activist’s father approached the High Court.* *The High Court termed the police probe as “far from fair, independent, bona fide or prompt” and transferred the case to the CBI. - * PTI *The BJP MP arrested in RTI activist Amit Jethwa murder case* -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
