Citizens for Justice and Peace
February 22, 2007
Press Invite
Citizens and human rights activists including local activists from Nanded, under the chairpersonship of Shri Kolse Patil (retired Judge, Mumbai High Court) have conducted a detailed investigation into the second Nanded bomb blasts of February 10, 2007. Preliminary Findings of the Concerned Citizens Inquiry - An Independent Scrutiny will be shared with the media in Mumbai tomorrow.
A technical assessment from experts on the clues and pointers on the site will also be shared.
The haste with which the state police is dismissing the possibility of any occurrence but a petrol driven fire for claiming insurance money, the on site significant pointers and clues, detailed video shootings of the site as well as photographs and findings by technical forensic experts will be shared.
Shocking documents related to the first Nanded bomb blasts of April 2006 have also been investigated by Communalism Combat and provided to the Concerned Citizens Inquiry that will be shared with the media. These documents reveal a questionable design on the part of the investigating authorities not to explore the root of an emerging network of terror groups that are linked to hate driven political outfits within India.
We request you to send your representative to cover the press conference. Members of the CCI were Justice Kolse Patil, Teesta Setalvad (Convenor) and Shri Arvind Deshmukh (Nagpur). Local activists provided core support and infrastructure.
