Vidhan Bhavan echoed with the sound of Salim Kutta’s name on Friday as it was claimed that Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sudhakar Badgujar had partied and danced with the 1993 blasts convict. BJP MLA Nitesh Rane raised the issue in the Assembly, at Nagpur, prompting Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis to order an SIT investigation into the matter.

A viral video where the convict and leader are allegedly seen interacting is being probed by the Nashik police to get clarity as to when exactly the clip was shot. Badgujar is also being questioned by the Nashik cops.
