HC plea claims Mumbai hostage-taker was killed in fake encounter
A plea filed in the Bombay High Court claims that Rohit Arya, the man who held 17 children and two adults hostage at a Mumbai studio, was killed in a 'fake encounter' by police. The petitioner, Shobha Buddhivant, alleged that the killing was politically motivated and urged the court to order a CBI probe instead of a local investigation.
