Court asked agencies to conduct Independent Probe in Dabholkar, Pansare Cases
The Bombay High court, on Friday asked CBI and CID to conduct a separate probe in Narendra Dabholkar and Pansare Case and not to rely on the revelations made in the Gauri Lankesh case.
A bench of Justices SC Dharmadhikari and M S Karnik asked both the probe agencies to make a "sincere effort" to trace the absconding accused in Pansare and Dabholkar cases.The directions came after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the state CID submitted its progress report before the bench.
According to NDTV the bench noted that the SIT had said, among other things, that it was questioning those arrested by the authorities in Karnataka in the murder case of journalist Gauri Lankesh, to help trace the absconding accused in Pansare case.
The bench noted that on the previous hearings too, both the CBI and the SIT had submitted that they were questioning the accused in Lankesh case to get information on the killings of Dabholkar and Pansare respectively.
"You are questioning the accused in another case in Karnataka...but the SIT's Progress report doesn't reveal what the actual measures you are taking to arrest the absconding accused," the bench said.
The CBI and the state CID are probing the killings of Dabholkar and Pansare, respectively. The high court has been hearing a plea filed by the family members of Dabholkar and Pansare seeking a court-monitored probe in both the cases.
As per the probe agencies, some of the accused, including Sharad Kalaskar, arrested in the Gauri Lankesh case have revealed that they also had links to the killings of Dabholkar and Pansare.
