US documents show larger conspiracy behind Gandhi`s assassination |
The Supreme Court, which is seized of a petition seeking re-investigation into the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, was on Feb 19, 2018 told that there were some crucial documents procured from the USA`s Library of Congress which showed evidence of a “larger conspiracy” behind the killing of the Father of the Nation. A bench comprising Justices S A Bobde and L Nageswara Rao said such material has to be brought before it along with an application. Mumbai-based Dr Pankaj Phadnis, a trustee of charitable trust Abhinav Bharat who has filed a petition in this regard, told the bench that the documents, which he had received from the USA, contained material which are “banned” by the government in India. He said he has also got a letter from a US-based attorney who has said that forensic evidence could be obtained in the case. The bench said that they will see this. It seems attractive but they will see whether it can be done, after he referred to the letter by an attorney regarding admissibility of evidence in courts in New York. The bench said that now with technology, it was possible to get the forensic evidence but it would see whether the case was required to be re-investigated.
