Pune: Joint Commissioner of Pune (CP) Ravindra Kadam on Thursday said that they might call Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani, who was present at Elgaar Parishad – an event to mark the 200th year of the Battle of Bhima-Koregaon for investigation if required.
Addressing the Press conference Kadam said, “If required, we will summon Jignesh Mevani as a part of the investigation.””In one document there are references (links with Congress), but till what extent it is right or wrong can be said after further investigation,” Kadam added.
Kadam stated that the police received documents establishing links of one of the five people arrested to the Congress party.
“We were investigating their links and in this connection, we raided houses of some of them. From Rona Wilson’s house, we recovered pen drive, hard disk and some other documents which were sent to forensics. We also got to know Rona Wilson’s and Surendra Gadling’s connection with Naxals. Later we found their links with the other three people and arrested them accordingly. Surendra Gadling was presented before the court after he was arrested yesterday morning and we were given his police custody for 8 days,” he added.
Kadam said that from the documents obtained from the accused, it indicates that “somehow they are indirectly connected with the violence”.
