Bhima Koregaon violence case: BJP addresses the media after SC delivered the verdict

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to interfere in the arrest of five activists – Varavara Rao, Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves, Sudha Bharadwaj and Gautam Navlakha – in Elgar Parishad case and extended their house arrest for four weeks. A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice DY Chandrachud and AM Khanwilkar also refused to constitute SIT into the matter. The apex court’s judgement gave a free hand to the Pune Police to continue its investigation into the matter.
