Mumbai, Nov 15: The Maharashtra police are disturbed due to the insinuations made by political parties over the investigations into the September 29 Malegaon blasts, its chief A N Roy said on Saturday.
"We are disturbed by these insinuations... political parties should allow us to investigate without making such statements," DGP Roy told a news channel.
Stating that the probe into the blasts that claimed six lives is reaching its final stages, Roy said, adding "every arrest made in the case is backed by strong evidence”.
Roy's remarks come in the backdrop of various political leaders, particularly those belonging to the Opposition Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, questioning the way the blast investigations are being carried out.
An Army officer, Lt Col P S Purohit, is among those arrested in connection with the blasts, being probed by the state's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), in the weavers' town of
North Maharashtra.
