Rajkot, July 3: WHILE the Rajkot head of Swadhyay Parivar, Manish Savshani, is in custody of Ahmedabad Police, two more persons from Rajkot district were detained on Monday for in a case of attack on the editor of an eveninger on May 5, 2005, allegedly by Swadhyay Parivar supporters.
Raju Shah, editor of Saurashtra Aajtak, was reportedly attacked by three men for publishing an e-mail sent by Vinu Sanchania against Dhanshree alias Jayshree Talwalkar (aka Didi).
“We have detained two persons from Paddhari in connection with attack on Rajkot resident Raju Shah,†said Ahmedabad DCP A K Jadeja.
In the mail, Sanchania had criticised Talwalkar for raising funds in the name of Parivar. After Shah lodged a complaint with Malaviyanagar police, three persons were arrested and immediately released on bail. Police, however, did not reveal the names of those arrested on Monday. Savshani, a Rajkot industrialist was arrested in connection with attack on Sanchania, a London-based NRI, at Jamnagar in January 2003.
Sanchania was allegedly attacked after he raised question against raising of funds and its handling by the Parivar. The case of Sanchania was reopened last week following striking similarities between his assault case and the murder of Pankaj Trivedi, a former swadhyaee and NRI.
The Ahmedabad police arrested Savshani after they found evidences against him in the Sanchania attack case. Savshani is also a prime suspect in Trivedi murder case.
