Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Drop the Cases against Bhima Koregaon Accused
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands the dropping of cases against
activists arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case and asks the Maharashtra
Government to set up an SIT to enquire into the developments exposed by the
credible reports of international experts as to how evidence was
manufactured and planted in the computer of one of the activists Rona
Wilson.
 
A forensic lab in the United States has found that his computer was hacked
and a malware was installed which planted incriminating mails in his files,
which he had never seen. This has been verified by other experts.  
 
Moreover this planting of mails occurred after his computer was in the
possession of the Government agencies for over 22 months. It will be
recalled that it was these mails which were claimed by the NIA to be part of
the 'conspiracy'. 
 
This case of computer hacking to plant incriminating mails is a deadly
technological weapon which the Modi Government has used in the Bhima
Koregaon case and may use in future against political opponents. It is
essential that this expose should not be allowed to be covered up or brushed
aside as the initial official response indicates.
