Goa Police 'U' turn: Sanatan Sanstha not involved in blast |
Goa Police on Wednesday did an about turn on their claim that the right wing Hindu group
Sanatana Sanstha was behind the October 16 scooter blast in Margao. They claimed
they had never said the key accused in the case Malganda Patil and Yogesh Naik
had links with the Sanstha. "Nowhere have we said that the organisation Sanatan
Sanstha is involved. We just said that the persons who were suspected of carrying
out the attack have links with Sanatan Sanstha," said Atmaram Deshpande, Superintendent
of Police Crime Investigating Department (CID). Earlier, State Home Minister Ravi
Naik stated that the Sanathan Sanstha worker -- Malganda Patil planned and executed
Friday's blast near a church in Margao. "Two persons, Malganda Patil and Yogesh
Naik are involved. Patil works as an administrator with the Sanathan Sanstha.
He has planned and executed the blast. He planted the bomb in the scooter and
thus two people were injured," Naik had said. The Sanstha, on its part, had denied
the statement made by Naik, saying the entire allegation was a conspiracy. Sanstha's
spokesperson Abhay Vartak, had said, "The accusation that we are involved in the
blast is a rumor. It is a conspiracy. There have been no arrests and no incriminating
material has been found." |
