Mumbai, May 28 (Reporter) Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president, Nana Patole, on Tuesday strongly demanded that the Pune car accident case should be investigated by CBI as there seems to be a political interference to save the rich accused.
Addressing a press conference here, he said that while the state is reeling under severe drought, instances of common people being crushed under vehicles by people driving under influence of alcohol and narcotic drugs is on the rise.
Such incidents have been reported from Nagpur, Jalgaon and Pune, but the most infuriating thing is that efforts were made through the government system to ensure that the born-rich accused get immediate bail, he alleged.
The MPCC chief said that in Pune, the minor son of a rich person crushed two people under his car, before incident he had consumed alcohol and was accompanied by the son of an MLA.
The name of the MLA should be declared, he demanded.
In this incident, Deputy Chief and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis used his own law degree to save accused, he claimed.
On Dr Taware of Sassoon Hospital who changed accused's blood samples, he alleged that a minister and an MLA had recommended that Dr Taware should be made superintendent.
Hence, people should know the names of that MLA and minister, he demanded and recalled that previously, all facilities were provided to drug mafia Lalit Patil in Sassoon hospital, from where he finally escaped.
After the car accident case, 36 illegal pubs in Pune were demolished, he said while expressing serious concern about spread of illegal drug racket in Pune.
BJP has committed sin of ruining youth by bringing large quantities of drugs from Gujarat to Maharashtra, he alleged and claimed that interference of the ruling party has increased and criminals are roaming freely in the city.
The Chief Minister should make his stand clear in this case, he demanded and said as the role of Home minister Fadnavis is also doubtful, he should resign from the post.
Even in Nagpur, Home minister's city, two girls were crushed to death under a car by two youths, but they got bail within 10 hours, he noted.
In Jalgaon too, a similar case was reported, and an attempt was made to save the accused, Patole charged.
BJP has hatched a plan to introduce Manusmriti in school curriculum and the Congress party will not allow this to happen under any circumstances, he added...////...
