Mumbai: Sawant says Modi, Shah let Delkar die

Mumbai: State Congress general secretary Sachin Sawant on Saturday said that PM Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah could have saved the life of Lok Sabha member Mohan Delkar, who committed suicide in a city hotel on February 22.
The city police have registered an offence against Dadra and Nagar Haveli administrator Praful Khoda Patel under the Prevention of Atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act.
Sawant said that Delkar had knocked at the doors of the PM, home minister and Lok Sabha speaker to narrate his plight. He released letters written by Delkar to the PM on December 18 and January 31 and the home minister on December 18 and January 12. - Prafulla Marpakwar
