MUMBAI: BJP’s Nitesh Rane said he had a pen drive and had prepared a transcript along with his colleague Ameet Satam of an eyewitness account of Disha Salian’s gangrape and murder. Rane raised the issue in the legislative assembly on Friday. Rane said he had taken lessons from the “pen drive university of Devendra Fadnavis (opposition leader) who had made two pen drives. Should I then not make at least one?” He said he had made a transcript too.
Rane said, “If we assume that she committed suicide then why has the CCTV footage from her building disappeared. The watchman has disappeared, pages 8 and 9 of the visitors’ register are missing. Her fiancé Rohan Rai who used to live with her and is an eyewitness is not traceable. I say with full responsibility that it is not a suicide but murder,” he said.
He said he could have given the evidence to police but had doubts about their intent. “The investigations are being done in a particular manner to save someone,” he said. Rane said a conversation on the pen drive reveals the involvement of a state minister in the gangrape and murder of Disha Salian as narrated by an eyewitness. “However I will not hand it over to you (speaker), rather I shall give it to the CBI through the courts, I do not believe the eyewitness will be alive otherwise,” he said.
