Sunil Joshi murder case having Pragya Singh Thakur's name to reopen

Bhopal, May 21 (UNI): Madhya Pradesh Public Relations, Law and Legislative Affairs Minister PC Sharma averred on Tuesday that Dewas District’s approximately decade-old Sunil Joshi homicide case would be examined, experts consulted and the law will take its own course in the matter.

“Documents are being requisitioned from the district administration and the Department concerned. Joshi owed allegiance to a certain organisation and a judge made some remarks in the verdict," Sharma told UNI.

"It has also transpired that the then Collector tackled the issue at bureaucratic level and did not forward it to the government."

"The role of the erstwhile Shivraj Singh Chouhan dispensation also raises suspicion,” he told UNI here.

The name of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Bhopal parliamentary constituency candidate Pragya Singh Thakur came up in connection with that murder.
