Elgar Parishad case: NIA opposes activist Rona Wilson's plea for quashing case

The NIA has opposed Elgar Parishad accused Rona Wilson’s plea to quash the case against him on the ground that the present writ petition filed by him is not maintainable. The NIA has raised questions over the US firm report cited by Rona Wilson that says “incriminating evidence” was “planted” in his computer.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) in its reply to Bombay High Court has stated that Rona Wilson's writ petition "deserves to be dismissed with cost". The agency has raised issues related to the maintainability of Wilson's plea that sought a stay on the proceedings against him and his co-accused in the Elgar Parishad case. Activist Rona Wilson, an accused in the Elgar Parishad case, had moved the Bombay High Court for a stay on proceedings against him following a US report claiming that fabricated documents were planted in his computer.
