The members of Rajput Samaj want the probe against jailed DCP Abhay Chudasama to be stopped. This was decided at a meeting of leaders of six districts in Gandhinagar on Tuesday.
They are Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Surendranagar, Surat, Rajkot and Junagadh. There were around 60 people at the meeting.
It is believed that since skeletons are tumbling out of the cupboard in the Chudasama case, influential leaders of both communities and the government are trying to apply pressure on CBI.
Karadiya Rajput Samaj Council is the supreme authority of the community. Its chairman Jasa Barad, ex-minister and senior Congress leader, said: “Abhay Chudasama is a popular member of our community. There should not be an unjustified inquiry against him. He should not face social injustice.”
The community members went to meet Chief Minister Narendra Modi, senior Congress leader, Shankersinh Vaghela, and opposition leader, Shaktisinh Gohil. Members of all parties were present in the delegation. A BJP leader from Bharwada said he met Modi at 4 pm in his office. “I told Modi that the probe that CBI was conducting was politically motivated and the investigating agency was harassing Chudasama. The probe has hurt the Rajput Samaj,” he said.
Pratapsinh Bharad, president of Bharwada Rajput Samaj, said the inquiry into Chudasama’s property and money was not justified. Mirror asked Ajitsinh Jadav, Rajput Samaj leader from Dhandhuka, that since 200 complaints had been filed against Chudasama, wasn’t he trying to protect a criminal?
“The complaints are mala fide and vindictive and the CBI probe is not being conducted as per Supreme Court guidelines,” he replied.
