New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet in the Malegaon Additional Collector Yashwant Sonawane murder case. In its chargesheet the CBI alleges that investigations show there was prior enmity between Popat Sinde and Yashwant Sonawne.
The CBI chargesheet also mentions that the Anti Corruption Bureau, Nashik, was investigating a complaint against Sonwane filed by Shinde.
Shinde alleged that Sonawane had sought a bribe of Rs one lakh for the release of an oil tanker seized in Manmad on May 10 May, 2010.
The complaint filed by Shinde is dated August 27, 2010.
Sonawane was set on fire by the petrol mafia in Nashik on January 26, 2011. He was on his way for a meeting with his assistant and his driver when he noticed tankers and drums of oil at near a dhaba. The officer asked some uncomfortable questions after which the offenders brutally set him on fire.
