Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh
police have claimed that Ajmer blast mastermind, Sunil Joshi, was
murdered by some Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) men as they
were angry with his daily bullying and abuse.
Joshi, an RSS pracharak who was shot dead Dec 29, 2007, in Dewas,
Madhya Pradesh, was accused of involvement in the 2007 Ajmer and
Mecca Masjid blasts.
After remaining silent for three years, the police have said that
Joshi was killed by his own men.
Madhya Pradesh Police Dec 17 stated that they had closed the Joshi
murder investigation after Rajasthan ATS arrested Harshad Solanki
in connection with the Ajmer blast case.
The police also said that according to their investigation, Joshi
was killed for 'mistreating' his colleagues.
Five people -- Raj alias Harshad Solanki, Mehul, Mohan (all from
Gujarat), Anand Raj Katare of Sarafa Bazar, Indore, and Vasudev
Parmar of Dewas -- have been found involved in conspiring and
executing Joshi's murder.
While Mehul and Mohan are still untraced and on the run, Solanki
and two others were brought before the Dewas court by the Udyog
Nagar police in Dewas on Friday.
According the police sources, Solanki admitted that they murdered
Joshi in December 2007.
Solanki, also an accused in the Best Bakery, Pune, and Ajmer blast
cases, has been remanded in judicial custody till Dec 20, while
Katare and Parmar have been sentd to police custody till Dec 24.
Udyog Nagar police station chief Vinod Singh Kushwah said that
Joshi used to threaten and harass the accused in the Best Bakery
case so they conspired and killed him.
"Joshi used to harass them and forced them to do daily chores like
cleaning the house and even abused them. Annoyed over the daily
abuse, they killed him," a police officer said here.
Three people were killed and 30 others injured when explosives
kept in a tiffin box went off at the famous sufi shrine of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chishti Oct 11, 2007.
