Bhima Koregaon Violence Caused By Another Group : Jaising Argues Relying On Ex-CM's Statements, Pune Police Affidavit

Live Law  

The caste violence at Bhima Koregaon on January 1, 2018, was not caused by the "lawful" Elgar Parishad event held the previous day, and the case would not attract the stringent Unlawful Activities Act, researcher Rona Wilson told the Bombay High Court. The agencies have held Wilson, Sen and 13 other civil liberties activists responsible for the Bhima Koregaon violence and furthering the banned CPI agenda with a plot to overthrow the government. She submitted that while opposing Ekbote's anticipatory bail application, the Maharashtra Government, through the Assistant Commissioner of Police filed an affidavit holding him responsible for Bhima Koregaon violence. "I will also be relying on two statements made by the then Chief Minister made in the floor of the house that violence was caused by a mob holding saffron flags."
