NEW DELHI, MAR 10
Lok Sabha members demanded on Wednesday action against the Dadra and Nagar Haveli administrator over the death of MP Mohan Delkar.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut said the administrators of the Union territory had made life “miserable” for Delkar.
Delkar, 58, a seven-time MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, was found dead in a hotel at Marine Drive area of south Mumbai on February 22. He had left a 15-page suicide note.
“I demand suspension of the SP, collector, and administrator of Dadra and Nagar Haveli,” Raut said.
JDU MP Kaushalendra Kumar demanded that the administrator should be removed. “If a member of Parliament is not safe, then how will people feel safe?” Kumar asked.
Mumbai Police register FIR
Mumbai Police have registered an FIR on the charge of abetment to suicide in connection with the death of Lok Sabha member Mohan Delkar, a senior police official said on Wednesday.
The FIR was registered on Tuesday after Delkar’s family members visited the Marine Drive police station and lodged a complaint, the official said.
The police registered the case under the charge of abetment to suicide and provisions of the Atrocities Act, the official said.
The police had recovered a 15-page suicide note from Delkar’s hotel room which was written on his letterhead, the official said, adding the note mentioned some names.
Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Tuesday announced that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will probe the alleged suicide of Delkar.
Deshmukh said in the state Assembly that Delkar’s suicide note stated that the Union Territory’s administrator Praful Kheda Patel was harassing the MP.
Delkar’s wife and son met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray at the Vidhan Bhavan here on Tuesday.
Later, talking to reporters, his son Abhinav Delkar claimed Patel “left no stone unturned to humiliate” the deceased.
