Minister’s wife probed for links with Hindu group
October 19th, 2009 - 5:23 pm ICT by IANSPanaji, Oct 19 (IANS) Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik Monday said the police would probe the links of the state transport minister’s wife with a Hindu group blamed for an explosion that killed two of its members.
Addressing reporters at his residence, Naik said that everyone involved with the Sanatan Sanstha was being investigated. The Goa transport minister is Ramkrishna alias Sudin Dhavalikar.
“We are probing everyone. We know that Jyoti Dhavalikar is a part of the institution although we do not know in which capacity. I have asked police to enquire,” Naik said.
Sudin Dhavalikar is a Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) legislator and is a part of the Congress-led coalition government. Sudin’s brother Deepak Dhavalikar is also an MGP legislator.
Two Sanatan Sanstha activists were killed when explosives they were ferrying in a two-wheeler scooter exploded on a street in Margao, a town in south Goa 35 km from here.
