Mahatma Gandhi assassination: Plea filed in Supreme Court seeking re-investigation

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking re-investigation in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

The apex court has asked former Additional Solicitor General Amarendra Sharan to assist the court as amicus curiae in the case.

The PIL has been filed by a Mumbai-based IT Consultant Pankaj Kumudchandra Phadnis.

According to reports, an earlier petition of Phadnis seeking reopening of the Gandhi murder case was dismissed by a High Court earlier.
