Respected Madam / Sir,
Subject : Brutal Murder of Whistleblower Satish Shetty of Pune District.
Reference : Several newspaper reports including Times of India, Indian Express, Mid-Day, Hindu, Pune Mirror.
Shri Satish Shetty, 38 years old, was killed by swords by unidentified masked attackers while he was taking a walk yesterday at about 7 am near Talegaon. The murder triggered instant protests in the city with shop owners in the Panchavati and Jijamata chowk area downing shutters in protest. Only last week, Shetty had filed a complaint that a two-wheeler had tried to run him over at Jijamata chowk in Talegaon. He had also applied for police protection which was under process.
Shetty had exposed several major land scams in the Talegaon-Lonavala region, involving wrongful gains of about Rs.4,000 crores; apart from several other frauds, illegal constructions & black marketeering in kerosene. Earlier, he had also exposed certain corrupt land deals in & around the Mumbai-Pune expressway.
Shetty had dedicated his life to helping people, to public causes & to improving governance by using RTI, filing criminal complaints & petitioning courts. Shetty was a genuine social worker & an iconic anti-corruption crusader, hence the nation owes itself justice delivery on a war footing.
We pray for the following actions :
1) Identification of accused on a war-footing & their arrest.
2) Proper collection of evidence & witness protection.
3) Adequate police custody and unbiased investigation.
4) Timely submission of charge-sheet. No police delay.
5) Timely trial & conviction. No judicial delay.
6) Exemplary punishment to anyone who tries to protect the accused.
