Anuj Loya, son of special CBI judge B.H. Loya on Sunday said he had earlier been suspicious about his father’s sudden death, but now no longer harboured doubts.
He said he did not have any doubts about the way his father died three years ago.
“I had an emotional turmoil, hence I had suspicions about his death. But now we don’t have any doubts about the way he died,” he told reporters.
Judge Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh “fake encounter” case, had allegedly died of a cardiac arrest in Nagpur on December 1, 2014, when he had gone to attend the wedding of a colleague’s daughter.
“Earlier my grandfather and aunt had some doubts about his death, which they shared. But now neither of them have any doubts,” Mr. Anuj said.
Hee also urged NGOs and politicians to stop “harassing” his family.
“We faced some pressure from politicians and NGOs. We don’t want to name anyone, but please excuse my family from continuously asking about my father’s death,” he said.
Mr. Anuj is a second year student of Law in a Pune-based college.
