Mumbai:
A lawyers
collective Thursday sought a re-investigation into the involvement
of locals in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in the wake of the
arrest of terrorist Abu Jindal Hamza.
"We demand the setting up of a Special Investigative Team for
this," said lawyer Sanjiv Punalekar, who is general secretary of
Rashtriya Hindu Vidhidnya Parishad (RHVP).
Claiming that the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) was aware
of the 26/11 attacks through Intelligence Bureau (IB) alerts, the
RHVP alleged the alerts were ignored as the ATS was busy creating
false evidence in the Malegaon blast of 2008.
The entire Malegaon 2008 incident should be re-investigated and
the culprits who had stored the explosive (RDX) belonging to the
jehadi network should be booked, Punalekar told IANS.
The RHVP, part of an all-India association of 18 groups, provides
legal aid to Hindus nabbed in various incidents of terrorism, in
different parts of India, he said.
