"Shiraz Balsara, the head of a NGO named Kashtakari Sanghatna which has links with the Christian missionaries is working to arrange for the bail of those arrested"
-
Shiraz and her husband Pradip Prabhu (who founded the NGO in 1978) have taught me at TISS. https://www.organiser.org/Encyc/2020/4/20/CPM-Christian-missionary-plot-emerges-behind-the-Palghar-Lynching-case-Another-Governance-failure-of-Maharashtra-Govt.html">https://www.organiser.org/Encyc/202...

Pradip was earlier known as Peter D& #39; Mello. Rich Bandra kid, went to good school & colleges, and later became a Christian priest. Later he adopted the name Pradip Deshbhakt Prabhu when he started Kashtakari Sanghatna. He married his long time girlfriend Shiraz Bulsara, a Parsi.

Pradip Prabhu & his wife Shiraz Bulsara (both taught at TISS from 2010 to 2013) were instrumental in drafting Forest Rights Act, 2006. He was close to Congress and served on sub-committees of NAC.
Pradip, apart from teaching us a few subjects, was also my research guide at TISS.

Brian Lobo is a long time associate of Pradip & Shiraz, lives in Dahanu & manages Kashtakari Sanghatna. He leads d opposition to Bullet Train project in the Palghar region.

Some more details about Kashtakari Sanghatna, its ideology & working style-

Pradip Prabhu, husband of Shiraz Bulsara, is one of the most connected guys I& #39;ve met. He drafted laws during UPA, lectured IAS/IFS, served on NAC & various govt committees, taught at top universities. He is perhaps d most powerful NGO leader in India.
That& #39;s what ecosystem means

In this thread I& #39;m not, in any way, implying that Pradip is related to #PalgharMobLynching, but his wife Shiraz& #39;s name coming to the fore as a protector of the accused needs thorough inquiry.
I sincerely hope those who lynched our Hindu saints get exemplary punishment.

End.
