His RTI activism had helped the BJP when it was in the opposition. But now the BJP government has come down heavily on Kashinath Shetye, who is also a government employee.



His run of filing PILs, appeals to the NGT, Human Rights Commission and the RTI applications has come under fire. Besides filing a privilege motion against him, the government has announced a multi-agency  probe against him.

Kudchade MLA and GTDC Chairman Nilesh Carbral has moved a privilege motion on the issue and speaker Pramod Sawant has ordered the chief secretary  Dharmendra Sharma as well as the police to submit reports to him on the issue.

Shetye works in the electricity department and is involved in a variety of public interest litigations.
