Maharashtra Govt To Form SIT To Probe Elgar Parishad Case

A minister of the Maharashtra govt said that it will form a special investigation team to probe the Elgar Parishad case.
The decision was taken after the case was transferred from the state police to the NIA, triggering a huge political row.
The announcement came from Maharashtra’s minority affairs minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik after Sharad Pawar called a meeting of all party ministers earlier in the day.
The meeting was held amid reports of rising differences with ally Shiv Sena over the transfer of the case to the central agency.
“There is nothing wrong with the CM’s decision to hand over the case to NIA because going by the NIA act it is binding on the state", said Malik.
