Former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Meeran Borwankar has said that political interference was among the reasons why justice could not be delivered in the Malegaon and 7/11 train blast cases, as well as in the murder of rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar, PTI reported.

Speaking at the 12th death anniversary of Dr Dabholkar in Pune on Wednesday, Borwankar revealed that she had received a threatening email questioning her decision to attend the event.

“I decided to speak on the same subject I had recently written about in an article in a Marathi daily about political interference in policing,” she said.
