Malegaon: Opposition leader Manohar Parrikar accused home minister Ravi Naik of using the Margao bomb blast case to settle personal scores and demanded that the case be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), reports Times of India.

 

According to the leading Indian English daily, Manohar Parrikar said that Naik's recent statement in a local daily that the scooter used in the blast belonged to Nishad Bakhale, nephew of transport minister Sudin Dhavalikar, was contradictory to the statements made by the police.

"The state's home minister has already made up his mind about who the culprit should be, and the police will blindly follow these suggestions to appease him. The interest of Goa is not being considered here and it is frightening, as more people are involved and the real culprits have every chance of going scot free," Parrikar said at a press conference on Tuesday evening.

"This is an intra-cabinet battle. The home minister is trying to score a goal against the transport minister. It's a snake versus mongoose battle and Dhavalikar is at the receiving end," the opposition leader said.

Parrikar said that he was neither shielding Dhavalikar nor Bakhale. "The DIG has said that the scooter was sold by Bakhale to Yogesh Naik's brother. As per the RTO records, the scooter was sold on March 27, 2007. However, the home minister has been giving statements to the media that the scooter belongs to Dhavalikar's nephew," he said, adding, "This shows that there is no seriousness in the investigations, which should be a cause of concern for Goans. The case must be transferred to the CBI," the opposition leader said.

Parrikar further alleged that the Goa police neither had the expertise nor the equipment to investigate material that is used to make bombs.

"The forensic lab at Verna has been inaugurated, but is not functioning. It does not even have equipment to check a viscera. Merely saying that the gelatin sticks in the Margao bomb blast came from Nagpur is not enough. Even the gelatin sticks that are used for fishing here are brought from Nagpur," he said.

When asked if he supported the proposed ban on the Sanatan Sanstha, Parrikar replied: "I don't care. If they are guilty, they should be."

 

Meanwhile, amid the reports that are coming in the media about the involvement of its activist in the Goa blast, Sanatan Sanstha once again claimed that they do not have anything to do with the blast that triggered off on Friday.

 

We don't believe in violence and we are fully cooperating with the officials who are investigating the incident, the Sanatan Sanstha office bearers have reportedly told in a press conference.
