Influential BJP MP Dinu Solanki’s nephew Shiva Solanki was arrested on Tuesday morning from the Rajkot airport for the murder of RTI activist and green crusader Amit Jethwa.
“We have arrested him in connection with Amit Jethva murder case in which his involvement came to fore after the arrests of other accused,” joint commissioner of police (crime branch) Mohan Jha said.
Shiva Solanki is the main accused in the murder case and was arrested near Rajkot airport on Tuesday by a team of Ahmedabad police.
Jethwa was killed outside the Gujarat high court on July 20. Jethwa’s father Bhikubhai Jethwa has been alleging that Dinu Solanki was involved in the murder. He had said that Solanki had threatened him and Amit many times over phone and also in public.
The RTI activist was reportedly coming out of a building after meeting his lawyer and about to enter his vehicle when he was fired upon.
