The family of the late rationalist Narendra Dabholkar has petitioned the Bombay High Court to contest the acquittal of three people in his murder case. Mukta Dabholkar, the rationalist`s daughter, filed the appeal in connection with the Narendra Dabholkar murder case, which also challenged the judgement that cleared two other convicted individuals of charges related to criminal conspiracy and terrorist activities under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), reported PTI.
Mukta Dabholkar, through her lawyer, Abhay Nevagi, said that her father`s assassination was a "well-planned murder involving a larger conspiracy", the news agency added.
