Court orders reinvestigation into Yogita Thakre's death
In 2009, seven-year-old Yogita Thakre was found dead in Nagpur with bruises all over her body in a car allegedly owned by Nitin Gadkari, and parked at his home. At this time, Mr Gadkari had not yet been selected the chief of the BJP; he was the president of its Maharashtra branch. Yogita's mother, who worked as a domestic helper in the area, later said she had asked the politician's security guards to look after her while she was at work.
