Former Special Prosecutor Rohini Salian has disclosed that it was Suhas Warke, a Superintendent of Police in the National Investigation Agency (NIA), who asked her to "go soft' against the accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case after the NDA came to power.


More than three months after Salian's interview to The Indian Express, the first disclosure on the name of the agency officer has been made in an affidavit she filed in a matter relating to initiation of contempt proceedings against NIA for "tending to hamper the judicial process,' resulting in "weakening of the prosecution's case'.


"I am told that a criminal contempt petition is filed before this Honb'le court and in administration of justice and as an officer of the court, I am disclosing the name of the NIA officer, who had tried to interfere with the delivery of the administration of justice, as a messenger. His name is Suhas Warke, SP, NIA, Mumbai branch,' Salian said in her affidavit.
