Riot accused right wing leader Sambhaji Bhide says he wasn't involved in dividing communities

The main accused in orchestrating the violence at Bhima Koregaon on Monday, Sambhaji Bhide, in an exclusive interview to India Today said that he was never involved in tactics to divide communities.

The right wing leader also took a delegation to the Superintendent of Police's office on Thursday to seek withdrawal of charges. Bhide (85) heads the outfit Shiv Pratishthan Hindustan.

"I have nothing to do with it. I have never indulged in any acts to divide communities. Some people want to include my name for political motives. There is a big conspiracy behind this," said Bhide on the allegations.
