Ahmedabad, May 11: The Special Investigating Team (SIT) probing the 2002 post-Godhra riot cases was prejudiced against him, VHP leader Praveen Togadia alleged today.
Togadia, through his lawyer, claimed that while he was being questioned by SIT yesterday, at the same time some television news channels were airing details of the queries being posed to him.
“This makes it clear that even after the SIT inquiry was over, false and baseless conclusions and questions mentioned in the media reports were made public by the SIT,” Togadia’s lawyer Shaileshkumar Pandya said adding that this showed that the investigating agency was “biased” against him.
Togadia in a letter through Pandya to SIT member A K Malhotra demanded certified copies of the proceedings during his deposition before the team.
