Is Maharashtra going soft on Sanatan Sanstha?
HINDUSTAN TIMES, MUMBAI | 08 October 2015 15:09 IST
Police have little evidence against a member of Hindu hardline group Sanatan Sanstha accused of murdering rationalist Govind Pansare, Maharashtra minister Ranjit Patil said on Tuesday, the second senior leader to back the controversial organization in a case that triggered nationwide outcry.
Patil, the minister of state for home, said Sanstha member Sameer Gaikwad was behind bars in connection with Pansare’s murder on mere suspicion and some call records but no hard proof, days after revenue minister Eknath Khadse ruled out a ban on the outfit.
