Dear Colleagues,
1. I endorse your demands for re-investigation by the NIA into bomb blast
cases in Maharashtra as the investigations conducted by the Anti Terrorist
Squad are prima facie seriously flawed as per the disclosures of a retired DGP
Mr. Mushrif among others .
2. The investigation report of Mr. Hemant Karkare into the chain of bomb blasts
be made public as people have a right to know about a serious conspiracy
endangering internal security with implications for national security falsely
blamed on minorities .
3. One Judicial Commission is required to investigate 26/11 as several
police officials and policemen lost their lives for which the police
officials or their association ought to have demanded an official Judicial
Commission not a committee of retired bureaucrats and Mr. Mushrif retired
Director General of Police among others have questioned the official version,
in particular the killings of Mr. Hemant Karkare and other police officials
and policemen.
4. Another Judicial Commission is required to probe all other cases of bomb
blasts in Maharashtra as the wider conspiracy is required to be exposed as
these were chain events by the same conspirators .
5. The murder of Shahid Azmi Advocate defending an innocent accused person in
the 26/11 trial and other innocent persons in the bomb blasts trials, also
requires to be re-investigated by the NIA ( NATIONAL INVESTIGATING AGENCY).
6. The manner in which RDX was allegedly acquired from a military institution
be probed by the NIA.
These are separate issues, yet form a continuing conspiracy against the
security of the
country , which resulted in the killings of police officers and policemen,and
constitute a chain of incidents which were used to scapegoat and politically ,
socially and economically
marginalize minorities which continues with pre-election riots in UP and
Maharashtra to polarize the electorate in the absence of a manifesto for the
electorate as a whole including vast sections below the poverty line and middle
income groups.

Reopen all investigations into the terror attacks in Maharashtra &
restructure the Anti-Terror Squad.
By Feroze Mithiborwala & Kishore Jagtap
30th January 2013
To,
Mr. Munaf Hakim,
Chairman, State Minorities Commission,
Government of Maharashtra,
Mumbai.
Sub: Reopen investigations into all terror attacks in Maharashtra since 2002,
as well as appoint new honest & secular officers in the ATS squad.
Respected Sir,
Firstly we wish to congratulate you for the courage you have shown in
demanding that the NIA reopen the investigations of the Jalna, Purna, Parbhani
& Nanded terror attacks. Thus including the list as below, we are now referring
to a list of 17 terror attacks in Maharashtra alone.
We also congratulate the Union Home Minister Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde, as well
as the Home Secretary Mr R. K. Singh for having stated that 10 RSS (though
there are far more) & BJP activists are being investigated for their
conspitorial role in fomenting the terror attacks in Malegaon, Samjhauta
Express & Mecca Masjid.
Now since the lies of the last decade & more are unraveling before the entire
nation & the truth is there for all to see, we further demand that all the
terror attacks that have taken place in Maharashtra in the last decade & till
the recent terror attacks, all be reinvestigated.
We therefore demand that the following terror attacks be reinvestigated &
they are as follows:
Mumbai: Our city is clearly the prime target of the terror attacks with 11
terror attacks.
a.. December 6, 2002 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar, killing 2
b.. January 27, 2003 - Bomb goes off on a bicycle in Vile Parle, killing 1
c.. March 14, 2003 - Bomb goes off in a train in Mulund, killing 10
d.. July 28, 2003 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar, killing 4
e.. August 25, 2003 - Two Bombs go off in cars near the Gateway of India
and Zaveri Bazaar, killing 50
f.. July 11, 2006 - Series of seven bombs go off in trains, killing 209
g.. February 20, 2008: A bomb is planted at Cineraj cinema hall in Panvel
h.. May 31, 2008: A blast takes place at Vishnu Bhave Auditorium in Vashi
i.. June 4, 2008: A bomb explodes in the parking lot of Thane’s Gadkari
Rangayatan theatre, injuring seven. A play, A m h i P a c h p u t e, was to be
staged there.
j.. November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks: Do note that, there are a
number of questions that are yet to be answered & thus we do demand a ‘National
Judicial Commission of Inquiry’ to be constituted as well, as clearly the ‘Ram
Pradhan Committee’ inquiry is insufficient to say the least. The Interpol had
stated that the 26/11 terror attacks were plotted from across 7 countries & all
we have is a report that looked into the failings of the Mumbai & State
security apparatus.
k.. July 13, 2013: A series of three coordinated bomb explosions at
different locations in The blasts occurred at the Opera House, Zaveri Bazaar,
and Dadar Kabootarkhana (West) localities, leaving 26 killed, and 130 injured.
Also note that in the case of Panvel, Vashi & Thane, the investigation
agencies have arrested members of the Sanatan Santha, but yet the investigation
needs to much deeper to further uncover the links with the national terror
network.
Pune: This is another city that is key to unraveling the truth of the
communal & fascist forces behind the terror attacks.
· February 13, 2010: Pune, German Bakery, killing 17 people,
including five foreigners, and injuring 60.
· August 1, 2012: Pune Serial blasts, 1 injured.
Apart from the fact that the RSS-Sangh Parivar affiliates, such as the
Abhinav Bharat, as well as the Sanatan Santha who are under the terror scanner,
yet the Hindu Dharam Raksha Sena led by Dhanajay Desai is yet of the radar of
the investigating agencies despite repeated warnings.
Dhanajay Desai is creating an underground armed militia & the sources of his
finances (both national & international) & ammunition need to be tracked &
exposed. Dhananjay Desai is forming a formidable army of unemployed lumpen
youth from the slum areas of Mumbai & across India & this militia is a threat
to the very harmony & integrity of our nation, much as the assorted
Frankenstein-Lashkar’s now pose to Pakistan. Dhanajay Desai’s role in both the
Pune terror attacks must specially be investigated, apart from his role in all
the above terror attacks as well.
Bhonsla Military School in Nashik & all the young recruits numbering more
than 5000 that underwent training under Lt. Col. Purohit, the founder-leader of
the Abhinav Bharat also must be investigated.
The death of Shankar Shelke, a scrap dealer also needs to be investigated. As
per the investigation of Shri Hemant Karkare, Shelke was involved in the
smuggling of RDX that was being supplied from the Ahmednagar Military Ordnance
Factory & was used in the Malegaon terror attack. Shelke is said to have
committed suicide whilst in police custody. His wife continues to claim that
her husband was murdered by the police so that the investigation into the
supply of the RDX would fail to proceed further, as it clearly has.
We also demand that since the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) led earlier by both Mr.
Raghuvanshi & now Mr. Rakesh Maria, having either willfully misled the
investigations, or having proved to be incapable of pursuing the true
perpetrators, must be made to resign from their current posts, suspended & an
inquiry be instituted against all the police & intelligence officers involved
in these investigations.
It is indeed a matter of shame for the Maharashtra-ATS, that it was the
Rajasthan-ATS investigation that led to the truth of the Malegaon terror
attacks, whilst the Maharashtra ATS was busy forging evidence & implicating
innocent Muslims, many of whose families & lives they have destroyed, apart
from tainting an entire community with a deep sense of guilt & fear.
There needs to be high degree of professional & moral accountability, as they
just cannot play with the lives of ordinary people & thus examples must be set,
lessons learnt. Heads must roll!!
Thus the ATS, which is the key to preempting & investigating terror must be
led by honest, capable & secular police officials - & here do we have the
example of Shri Shaheed Hemant Karkare.
Thus we also demand to know the exact status of the investigations based on
the evidence that had been painstakingly collated by ex-ATS Chief Shri Shaheed
Hemant Karkare.
The simple fact of the matter is that, if the Maharashtra ATS would have
honestly investigated & apprehended the perpetrators way back in in 2002 &
onwards, we would not have faced the fear of perpetual state terror &
increasing communal polarization that we have all had to live with.
Thus we demand that the Government of Maharashtra ensure that the Anti-Terror
Squad be reconstituted & the true perpetrators of the terror attacks in which
innumerable innocent Hindus & Muslims have been killed, be apprehended & the
law take its natural course.
