Summary:
Former BJP parliamentarian Dinu Bogha Solanki, his nephew Shiva and five others were sentenced to life imprisonment by a special CBI court on Thursday for the murder of RTI activist Amit Jethwa. Others convicted of Jethwa's murder include Shailesh Pandya, Sanjay Chauhan, Udaji Thakore, police constable Bahadursinh Vadher, and Panchan Desai. On July 20, 2010, while the PIL was being heard, Solanki was shot point-blank by two men outside the gate of the high court. In 2013, the high court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation to take over the case. Jethwa's father Bhika moved high court against it and the court ordered a fresh trial in the case in 2017..
