Shocking revelations three days after RTI activist Amit Jethwa was murdered, who was killed in front of Gujarat High Court from a point blank range by two assailants. Jethwa, known as the green crusader was fighting the latest battle against the mining mafia. The opponent BJP MP Dinu Solanki accused of running illegal mining in Gujarat. Solanki has not surfaced ever since Jethwa’s murder and now a top lawyer from the Gujarat High Court has said Jethwa knew he would be killed.
Jethwa's friends and family claims he was on the verge of exposing an illegal mining racket near the Gir forests running into crores and he was silenced for his honesty. For a state government already under pressure with the Sohrabbuddin encounter case, these fresh allegations come as another blow. The PIL against illegal mining on the periphery of Gir forest area has named Solanki and his family members. An Ahmedabad police team has now left for Junagad to investigate the charges.
“Police are investigating all aspects linked to Jethwa's murder, including the name of persons figuring in the PIL on illegal mining filed by him," DCP Brijeshkumar Jha said. "We have found that the bike used by the assailants was stolen from Dholka town," Jha said, adding that the bag left by the two at the site of the incident had clothes with marks of a Junagad laundry. But the question is where Solanki is? Why has no official FIR been filed against him and why have Jethwa's revelations of the threat to him not been considered?
