June 09, 2014
Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil today claimed that the Centre did not seek a report from the state government on the murder of a Pune techie.
A probe, however, is underway in the case.
Meanwhile, two more persons have been arrested in connection with last week's
killing of an IT professional at suburban Hadapsar in Pune which
witnessed violence in the wake of Facebook posts denigrating warrior
king Shivaji and Shiv Sena supremo late Bal Thackeray, the police said.
Both the accused arrested on Sunday night are affiliated to self-styled
outfit Hindu Rashtra Sena, suspected of involvement in the murder of
28-year-old Mohsin Shaikh, who was bludgeoned to death by a mob that
went on a rampage following the detection on May 31 of controversial
photographs on Facebook posted by unknown persons, an official from
Hadapsar police station said.
