MANS Questions CBI on Dabholkar Murder Case Acquittals
Dr. Narendra Dabholkar was murdered, and some people were accused.
A court found some guilty but let others go due to a lack of proof.
The Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS) is now asking why the CBI hasn't appealed to a higher court about those who were found not guilty.
Dabholkar's family is also upset about the delay in the appeal process.
All the people involved in the case have links to an organization called Sanatan Sanstha.
The family had previously raised concerns about the delay.
MANS questions CBI's lack of appeal against acquittals in the Dabholkar murder case.
Three accused were acquitted in the Dabholkar murder case due to lack of evidence.
Two accused, Sharad Kalaskar and Sachin Andure, were found guilty in May 2024.
All accused have connections to the Sanatan Sanstha.
Dabholkar's family previously criticized the appeal delay in August 2024.
