“We attach absolutely no importance to what my grand-nephew says. He is immature…I have clearly said that I have 100 per cent trust in the Maharashtra Police and Mumbai Police. But if someone still wants a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) probe into it, then there is no reason to oppose that too,” the NCP chief said while speaking to the media.

He was asked about the demand for a CBI probe in the case being made some people, including by his grand-nephew Parth Pawar. Sharad Pawar said he does not want to respond to the allegations being leveled against the Maharashtra government in connection with the case.
“We feel sad if any person commits suicide. But I feel a bit surprised at the way it is being discussed (in the media), he added. The NCP patriarch further said he had recently been to Satara where a farmer expressed surprise to him on the discussion in the media over Rajputs death.
“The farmer said he felt surprised at the way it (Rajputs death) is being discussed in the media. He (the farmer) said 20 farmers committed suicide in Satara, but media did not even taken the note of it. Thus I know what are the sentiments of the common people regarding the issue”, Pawar added.
Parth Pawar is the son of the NCP president’s nephew and state Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. On July 27, Parth Pawar met state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh demanding that the case of Rajput’s death be handed over to the CBI or a Special Investigation Team (SIT) be formed with forensic experts to probe the case.
Parth also hit the Headlines recently after congratulating the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya after ground breaking ceremony of the Historic temple.
