The erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government had opposed the plea for a CBI probe into the incident and later, with the change in the dispensation in the state, it agreed to the petitions seeking an investigation by the central probe agency.
The case’s trial was finished on March 10 and the verdict was to be posted on March 18. Nevertheless, the date was first pushed to March 30 and then to April 4.
Anguished over the slow pace of investigation in the lynching of two sadhus and their driver at Gadchinchle village in Palghar district of Maharashtra, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has reiterated its demand for a CBI probe into the incident.
All those involved and arrested in the lynching of two sadhus and their driver on April 16, 2020, near Palghar were released on bail as the Maharashtra Police failed to submit any evidence against them.
The fact-finding committee appointed by Vivek Vichar Manch, a Mumbai-based NGO dedicated to addressing the issues of violation of Human Rights, Atrocities against Civil Rights, to study the Palghar lynching case of April 16, 2020, demanded to hand over the investigation to the central agencies.
