The cold-blooded Mob lynching of two Hindu Sadhus and their driver captured on CCTV is still fresh in our mind. The horrific scenes are still reminded, how 2 innocent harmless Bhagwa clad Sadhus were brutally killed by a mob of 400 strong premeditated villagers.
#PalgharMobLynching investigation was handed over to the Maharashtra State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) after protest for fair investigation and strong demand for Central SIT or CBI probe. Maharashtra Cheif Minister Udhav Thackeray under pressure had to act and recommend CID investigation to avoid Central intervention then.
Surprisingly the charge sheet mentions that the lynching was based on rumors in the vicinity and had no religious angle to it.
The latest in the investigation, 2 charge Sheets are filed. Prime facia the charge sheet dis-regard religious angle to the Palghar Mob lynching of 2 Hindu Sadhus and their colleague driver as a routine accidental affair.
In an anticipated development in the Palghar Mob Lynching case, Maharashtra CID on Wednesday 15th July 2020, filed two charge sheets naming 126 individuals and two juveniles as accused to stand trial.
The charge sheet is filed in Palghar District Court. As per Police and the CID team investigating the crime stated that the charge sheets comprising 5000 pages and 6000 pages respectively are initial charge sheets. The probe and further investigation are going on with an additional charge sheet that can’t be ruled out. Surprisingly the charge sheet mentions that the lynching was based on rumors in the vicinity and had no religious angle to it.
Earlier in the day, sessions court rejected the bail plea of 25 accused persons in the Palghar Mob Lynching case. The accused had applied for bail on technical grounds which has been rejected by the Palghar district Dahanu Court.
In one instance villager committed suicide. The story was planted that the person during the investigation with police torture committed suicide. Turned out to be a totally false story.
On April 16, 2020, during the lockdown period, three men were lynched to death by a mob of more than 400 people in Gadchinchle in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, allegedly suspecting the victims to be thieves. The deceased were 2 Hindu Sadhus identified as Sushilgiri Maharaj Chikne and Maharaj Kalpavriksha Giri along with Nilesh Telwade their driver. They were reportedly pelted with stones at a first location near the village where they were stopped initially. Later with police intervention, they were taken to police outposts of the Forest Department, at this location the mob was mobilized instigated to brutally attack with sticks and rods. With 2 Hindu Sadhus seen in Bhagwa clothes became the target of attack of villagers with Communist Naxal violent behavior and Christian converts under the influence of Missionaries, who operate in religious conversion activity in these Tribal belts.
Kasa Police in Palghar District under its jurisdiction where the crime was reported, had arrested 156 people under multiple sections of IPC, while three police officials have been suspended and 35 police personnel transferred. With the charge sheet, rubbing brushing aside the religious angle to the killing raises many unanswered question’s and points to re-look at once again:
For the fair investigation, fast track justice, punishment for the accused, the only solution is Central Government intervention. For that Central Government SIT or CBI probe should be ordered immediately. Home Ministry Amit Shah should suo motu take cognizance and intervene.
