Mumbai, Jun 16 : CBI today accused NCP MP Padamsinh Patil of conspiring to murder Congress leader Pawanraje Nimbalkar because of political rivalry and fear of exposure of financial irregularities committed by him.
"The motive behind Patil conspiring the murder is political rivalry and the exposure of certain financial irregularities committed by him," Balwinder Singh, Additional Director (Western and Southern region) of CBI told reporters here.
Commenting on Patil's non-cooperation in the interrogation, Singh said, "Patil is evasive but we cannot forcibly take his confession." On whether Patil would be subjected to scientific tests like narco-analysis and brain mapping, he said the CBI is yet to take a decision on it.
"Accused are subjected to scientific tests when there is very little evidence in the case. However, in this case we have vital and adequate clues to prove Patil's involvement in the murder," Singh said.
The six arrested accused in the case have been divided into three categories - conspirators, facilitators and shooters.
Patil is one of the conspirators and some more of them in the case will be arrested soon, Singh said. Ze
