The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Tuesday demanded that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) be formed to investigate the murder of NCP activists Rakesh and Yogesh Ralebhat in Jamkhed, Ahmednagar, last week.
NCP leader and former Assembly Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil said, “Jamkhed does not have a doctor in the government hospital, and they had to be taken to Ahmednagar. The police took them to a private hospital instead of the civil hospital. Post-mortem was done in Pune. All this creates a doubt in the minds of people, and therefore an SIT should be formed to investigate case.”
He said both activists were threatened with a gun on April 1. “The people involved are being sheltered by powerful individuals. The police has no control over the criminals in the district, and the guardian minister must resign.” Mr. Walse-Patil, visited the family of the victims on Tuesday.
