New Delhi : Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had recently sparked off a controversy by linking saffron groups like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to terror. Was the Home Minister lying? A special investigation by CNN-IBN has attempted to unravel the status of the terror cases involving right wing groups.
According to sources, there is no direct evidence against senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar in terror cases. Kumar was suspected to be the kingpin of a terror module being run by alleged RSS affiliated individuals.
Also, Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, prime accused of terror strikes in Malegaon, has written to the Chief Justice of Mumbai High Court, complaining of high handedness by the police.
Sources further said that there are huge discrepancies between what's being stated by National Investigation Agency (NIA), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) on masterminds of Malegaon, Mecca Masjid, Ajmer Sharief and Samjhauta express blasts.
Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde also went silent after stating there was evidence to show involvement of the RSS and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in terrorism. And even as Union Home Secretary RK Singh said 10 individuals associated with RSS were involved in terror strikes, CNN-IBN investigation revealed little evidence against them.
