Ram Kadam, MLA of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), recently took to Twitter to inform that on November 18, a procession is to take place from Khar Niwas to Palghar massacre site in a bid to transfer the case to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Back in the month of April, three priests were lynched to death by a mob of 200 people in Gadchinchle in Maharashtra's Palghar district, allegedly suspecting the victims to be thieves. As per reports, the deceased men were identified as Sushilgiri Maharaj, Chikne Maharaj Kalpavriksha Giri and Nilesh Telwade. The men were reportedly pelted stones at and beaten with sticks and rods, after being dragged out of their car.

Apart from the procession, Ram Kadam also demanded that a temple or a memorial should be made at the place where this incident took place. 

The BJP MLA had earlier written a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray demanding the transfer of the Palghar mob lynching case to the CBI as there is "no satisfactory development" with regards to the case. "Such kind of incidents is basically an attack on Hindu sadhus on the land of Maharashtra, which cannot be tolerated, at any cost and has sparked off a national outrage amongst people. My kind request is to hand over the Palghar case to the Central Bureau of Investigation for a more competent and fair probe in this sensitive case" Kadam further added.


However, earlier the state government had filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court and opposed the transfer of the Palghar lynching case to the CBI.
