Lawyer Claims Karkare Shot By Hindutva Terrorists

New Delhi, India, 16 December 2008 (Mail Today) - A Mumbai-based
lawyer has moved the Bombay High Court, seeking an independent
investigation into the circumstances under which Maharashtra Anti-
Terrorism Squad [ATS police] chief Hemant Karkare was killed.

Amin Solkar filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on December 11
[2008], mainly because Karkare was investigating the countrywide
Hindutva terror network. The PIL has asked the Court to appoint a
special investigating team under its supervision.

Karkare had unearthed an alleged Hindutva terror plot while probing
the Malegaon blasts case. The Muslims in Malegaon have always claimed
Karkare was killed by Hindutva militants and not by [Ajmal] Qasab.

Solkar's petition is expected to be heard on Thursday. The PIL wants
former CM [Chief Minister] of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh, to file
an affidavit disclosing the names of [Indian-Hindu] political leaders
who wanted Karkare out of the ATS.

Former [Maharashtra] Revenue Minister Narayan Rane will also have some
explanations to do. "A week after 26/11 [2008], he said some [Indian-
Hindu] politicians had provided logistical and financial support for
the [Mumbai] attack," claimed Solkar.

PIL Asks Rane to Expose Politicians Helping Terrorists

Mumbai, India, 12 December 2008 (PTI) - A PIL [Public Interest
Litigation] filed in the Bombay High Court has demanded that suspended
[Indian National] Congress [INC] leader Narayan Rane be asked to
reveal names of the [Indian-Hindu] politicians who were allegedly in
cahoots with terrorists.

Rane, licking his wounds after being not given the [Maharashtra] Chief
Minister's post following Vilasrao Deshmukh's resignation, had alleged
on December 6 [2008] that terrorists were getting logistical [and
financial] support from [Indian-Hindu] politicians.

"The terrorists are provided logistical and financial support from
such [Indian-Hindu] politicians," he had charged but refused to
substantiate his allegation and to clarify whether he was referring to
any Congress politician.

Avisha Kulkarni, a social activist, has filed a petition, saying Rane
must be made to reveal the names of these [Indian-Hindu] politicians.

Rane, who has been a [Maharashtra] Chief Minister when he was in
[Indian-Hindu terrorist] Shiv Sena, and a [Maharashtra] Revenue
Minister after he joined Congress, is "guilty of suppression of
information," Kulkarni's petition says, seeking action against him.

Rane as well as the state police have been made respondents in the
PIL. Police must question Rane, it says.

Rane was suspended by Congress after he lashed out at the top [INC]
party leadership on being pipped to the post by Ashok Chavan in the
race for the [Maharashtra] Chief Minister's post.

The PIL is expected to come up for hearing next week.

Another PIL Against Narayan Rane Over Terror Allegations

Mumbai, India, 17 December 2008 (PTI) - Another PIL has been filed
against [Indian National] Congress [INC] leader and former Maharashtra
Revenue Minister Narayan Rane, seeking that he disclose the
information about [Indian-Hindu] politicians' alleged links with the
terrorists.

Rane, who was recently suspended by the [INC] party, had alleged in a
press conference on December 6 [2008] that terrorists who attacked
Mumbai last month [November 2008] got "logistical and financial"
support from some politicians without revealing any names.

Purushottam Barde, Solapur district President of [Indian-Hindu
extremist] Shiv Sena, on Wednesday filed PIL in the Bombay High Court,
saying that Court should direct Rane to reveal more information
regarding this.

Also, action should be taken against Rane if the information proved to
be false, PIL says.

It also mentions Rane's another allegation that former [Maharashtra]
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh had links with a person connected
with [Indian business executive] Dawood Ibrahim. Rane should be forced
to reveal information regarding this too, it says.

Earlier Dr. Avisha Kulkarni, a social activist, had filed PIL with
identical demands following Rane's allegations.

Both PILs might come up for hearing on Thursday.

Rane, a former [Indian-Hindu extremist] Shiv Sena man, fell out with
Congress leadership after being denied [Maharashtra] Chief Minister's
post when Vilasrao Deshmukh resigned.

PIL Filed Against Narayan Rane

Mumbai, India, 12 December 2008 (ST) - A Public Interest Litigation
(PIL) has been filed in the Bombay High Court against suspended
[Indian National] Congress [INC] leader Narayan Rane demanding Rane to
disclose the names of the [Indian-Hindu] politicians, which he alleged
had provided logistics and financial aid to the terrorists.

Advocate Amin Solkar filed the PIL on Thursday stating that if Rane
had all the details, it is mandatory for him to disclose them. "Under
section 39 of [India] Criminal Penal Code (CrPC), it is mandatory for
an individual to reveal any information that could be a cause to any
offence in future. If Rane knows the politicians, then he should have
disclosed their names much before, at least the terror attacks could
have been avoided," he said.

In his petition, he has also prayed that a Special Investigation Team
(SIT) should be constituted to conduct probe into such kind of cases.
