Mumbai: Maharashtra BJP today demanded that a CBI probe should be ordered into the murder of additional collector Yashwant Sonawane by oil adulteration mafia.
A delegation of BJP leaders led by Eknath Khadse met the Governor K Sankaranarayanan today and put forward the demand.
Khadse also demanded a white paper on externment cases in recent years.
"The local police and bureaucrats are hand in gloves with mafia. It is difficult to expect unbiased inquiry from the state police, so we demanded a CBI probe at the meeting with the Governor," Khadse said.
Popat Shinde, the prime accused in Sonawane's murder was externed but his term was reduced by six months.
"About 85 per cent of externment orders get revoked due to political pressure or lack of strong charges. The Government should give all the information about externment cases (through white paper)," Khadse said.
