CM Thackeray did not react to the move till late on Saturday. For this, I had written a letter to the CM...The state held a meeting in this regard, but the Centre transferred the case. “The Centre wants to save some people, and thus, the probe was transferred to NIA. We were ensuring that no innocent people should be convicted, but the Centre unilaterally transferred the case, which is against the Constitution,” he said. If it was an issue of national security and terrorism, why did Fadnavis not give the case to NIA earlier,” he said.
