The City Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) probing into the murder of RTI activist Amit Jethava has given a clean chit to the controversial BJP MP from Junagadh, Dinu Solanki, in the case. S M Chaudhary, the investigation officer, recently submitted an affidavit in the Gujarat High Court with reference to a petition demanding CBI probe into the case.

In its affidavit, the DCB official has stated that they had interrogated Solanki on September 16 last year and found no evidence showing his involvement in the same.

Jethava was shot dead in front of High Court in July last year. His father, Bhikha Jethava, has alleged that the BJP MP from Junagadh was behind the killing since his son had filed a PIL in the HC to check illegal mining in the periphery of Gir Sanctuary, which is allegedly going on at the behest of Dinu Solanki.
