"I alone know what I have gone through. I don't know what the intentions are of those pointing fingers at me for the horrific tragedy, but I want to tell them that such allegations hurt not just me but also the deceased's family members," said Prakash Sawant Desai, the only one to survive the Poladpur-Mahabaleshwar road accident, in which 30 staffers of Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth died on July 28.
Desai, assistant superintendent at the Vidyapeeth, has come under scanner after a youth from the village of the deceased raised suspicion over him surviving the accident unscathed. Sunday mid-day reported yesterday that Sanjay Gurav, a resident of Gimhavane village in Dapoli taluka, who suspects Desai's involvement in the tragedy, has written to the Chief Minister and sought an in-depth investigation into the incident.
