MUMBAI: A Shiv Sena activist has filed a PIL in the Bombay High Court, seeking that investigation of the Malegaon blast case be handed over to
the state CID and action be taken against Anti-Terrorism Squad for "ill treating" Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, one of the accused in the matter.
Petitioner Shilpa Deshmukh, who is the secretary of Shiv Sena's Bhartiya Vidyarthi Sena, said that she was filing the PIL on her own and not on behalf of the party.
However, the High Court is yet to hear the petition, which is based on media reports regarding probe of Malegaon blast case, and alleges ATS of showing biasness.
"ATS is soft-pedalling" probe against Muslim organisations such as SIMI, the PIL says and claims that the investigation into the matter is "doubtful".
Besides, the PIL also asks for a judicial inquiry into the allegations of the accused Sadhvi Pragya against the ATS, it said.
Action should be taken against Director General of Police A N Roy and ATS chief Karkare for their "barbaric and pre-judicial approach" towards Hindu organisations and Sadhvi Pragya, the PIL demands.
It has also demanded that ATS officers should not detail the investigation process to the media.
