There was no evidence to prove four bullet theory raised by a self-confessed Veer Savarkar devotee and founder of 'Abhinav Bharat' Pankaj Phadnis who insisted that four shots were fired at Mahatma Gandhi and it was the fourth bullet fired by a mysterious person that took his life, said Senior advocate Amrendra Sharan.
Mr. Saran was asked by Supreme Court to examine all documents pertaining to Mahatma Gandhi assassination case to find out whether there was involvement of a 'mysterious' person who had fired fourth bullet which killed father of Nation.
"Investigation into the murder of the Gandhi represents the biggest cover up in the history of India. The blame on Marathi people in general and Veer Savarkar in particular for being the cause of the death of Mahatma has no basis in law and facts. On the other hand there is a compelling need to uncover the larger conspiracy behind the murder by constituting a new Commission of enquiry to look into the issue," Phadnis said in his petition.
Refuting the contentions raised by petitioner, Sharan in his report said, "The bullets which pierced Mahatma Gandhi's body, the pistol from which it was fired, the assailant who fired the said bullets, the conspiracy which led to the assassination and the ideology which led to the said assassination have all been duly identified. No substantive material has come to light to throw any doubt on any of the above requiring either a re-investigation of the Mahatma Gandhi murder case or, to constitute a fresh fact finding commission with respect to the same".
He said that there is no evidence to prove that Mahatma was killed by person other than Nathuram Godse.
Sharan, assisted by advocates Sanchit Guru and Samarth Khanna, filed this report after examining nearly 4,000 pages of trial court records and the Jeevan Lal Kapur Inquiry Commission report of 1969.
