Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil today revealed that the police was in possession of an audio tape comprising a conversation of Malegaon bomb blast accused making derogatory references to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. <br/><br/>Replying to a debate on law and order in the state Legislative Assembly today, Patil said the conversation also pertains to use of a chemical powder which if applied on footwear would result in the death of the person using it within two to three days. He said that there is a mention in the conversation that Bhagwat is unfit to lead the Hindutva outfit. <br/><br/>Earlier, participating in the debate, NCP legislator Jeetendra Avhad had alleged of links between Hindu organisations like Abhinav Bharat, Sanatam and Pakistan's ISI. He charged the right-wing groups were involved in some bomb blast cases and also planned to kill the RSS chief and put the blame on ISI. He wanted to know what action the government will take against the groups. Replying to this, Patil said appropriate decision will be taken at the appropriate time. <br/><br/>Meanwhile Patil said the accused in Pune's German Bakery bomb blast case were on the police radar and will soon be arrested. He said investigations are being conducted on war footing in complete co-ordination with central agencies and investigators from other parts of the country. In another development, Patil said he was ready to hand over the Sangli-Miraj communal riots case to the CBI. <br/><br/>Giving details of security alerts from central agencies, Patil said in 2008, 52 alerts were received, 169 in 2009 and till March 2010, 35 alerts have been received. The minister said since 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, the state government had strengthened its Intelligence Department by directly recruiting personnel in the force. Earlier, the officials were brought to the department on deputation, he added.<br/> <br/>Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil today revealed that the police was in possession of an audio tape comprising a conversation of Malegaon bomb blast accused making derogatory references to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. <br/><br/>Replying to a debate on law and order in the state Legislative Assembly today, Patil said the conversation also pertains to use of a chemical powder which if applied on footwear would result in the death of the person using it within two to three days.
