MUMBAI
Yashwant Natu is the complainant in the alleged land-grabbing case involving city Congress vice-president Deepak Mankar and others.
Police inspector Bhimsen Rathod, who is the prosecution witness in the Yashwant Natu case, on Tuesday, told additional sessions judge Usha Thakare that the police had let off the five suspects involved in stone pelting at Natu’s house without recording their statements.
Rathod said it was a lapse on part of the duty officer of Phadgate police chowky.
“On the day of the incident, the police had reached the spot in time and had nabbed the suspects but the duty officer of Phadgate police chowky released the suspects without recording their statements. This was a mistake on part of the duty officer,” he said.
Yashwant Natu is the complainant in the alleged land-grabbing case involving city Congress vice-president Deepak Mankar and others.
During examination of witnesses by additional public prosecutor SM Kalbhor, Rathod said, “On February 28, 2008, I was on duty at Kasewadi area. The control room had informed me about the stone-pelting incident while I was passing through Shukrawar Peth. I rushed to the spot. However, another police team had already reached the spot. Two of the suspects were nabbed inside Natu’s house while three were caught outside the house,” he said.
Defence lawyers Suresh Bhosale and Sudhir Shah, who cross-examined Rathod, asked him to identify the five suspects, whom he had nabbed from the spot.
He successfully identified two suspects Sankar Gaud and Parsuram Naik while he failed to identify the other three.
Another prosecution witness Nalini Dilip Sarathe (56), retracted her statement in the court saying that she was not present when the panchnama was being done.
She said it was the anti-extortion cell unit of the crime branch and police, which made her sign the panchnama.
When the court asked her to identify the suspects, she said, “When I was neither present at the spot nor during the panchnama, how can I identify the accused?”
She denied being under any pressure or influence from any of the suspects in the case. Sarathe is the third prosecution witness, who retracted her statement
in the case.
