3 min readExpress News Service
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe has revealed that journalist Shashikant Warishe was deliberately run over by precise property vendor Pandharinath Amberkar in Maharashtra in February.
According to the chargesheet filed by the SIT, Amberkar was furious with Warishe over a story inside the Mahanagari Times, a Marathi day-after-day.
“The protesting farmers against the proposed oil refinery asked the chief minister and deputy minister whose photographs are displayed along with the CM and DCM on banners. The CM and DCM should check the background of this particular person. He is a serious criminal,” acknowledged the story, referring to Amberkar.
Amberkar supported the organising of the Ratnagiri Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd (RRPCL) in Barsu, which was opposed by a little bit of locals.
On February 7, he drove his Mahindra Thar on the mistaken side of the road at Khondwali in Rajapur tehsil, then intentionally and deliberately mowed down Warishe’s Activa two-wheeler whereas the scribe was prepared at a petroleum pump in Ratnagiri district, dragging him for quite a lot of metres sooner than fleeing from the spot. Warishe was taken by locals to Kolhapur hospital, the place he succumbed to his accidents.
As per the chargesheet, Amberkar has been charged under IPC sections 301 (imprisonment for all instances punishment for the crime of dying) and 201(Causing disappearance of proof of offence, or giving false information to show display offender) and Maharashtra media particular person and media institutions (prevention of violence and damage or loss to property) Act 2017, half 4.
Earlier, quite a few journalist associations in Mumbai staged a protest near Mantralaya over Warishe’s murder and demanded that the case be fast-tracked. They moreover demanded that the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act be invoked inside the case.
