Is there a better way?

The Times of India, December 10, 2004

NEW DELHI: Godman Chandraswamy is amid a controversy again: the CBI has told a Delhi court that he may have financed Rajiv Gandhi's assassination 13 yearsago.

This is the first time the investigating agency has revealed details about Chandraswami's alleged role in the former PM's assassination by a LTTE 'human bomb' at Sriperambudur in Tamil Nadu. CBI made its revelations on Friday whileopposing the tantrik's plea for permission to go abroad to give spiritual discourses.

Evidence and material pointed an accusing finger towards Chandraswami and "raiseserious doubts regarding his involvement in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi",CBI superintendent of police B N Mishra told metropolitan magistrate V K Khanna.

The enforcement directorate, which has accused Chandraswami of Fera violations, also opposed his application for permission to go abroad. The court has fixed December 13 as the next date of hearing and directed Chandraswami to appearin person.

The godman's fresh troubles could well have been given momentum by the changed political equation at the Centre. The dominance of Rajiv Gandhi loyalists inthe government could be a factor in the sudden revival of interest in Chandraswami.
