Amit Jethwa (also Amit Jethava) (31 December 1975 – 20 July 2010) was an Indian environmentalist and social worker, active in the Gir Forest area near Junagadh, Gujarat. He had filed several court cases against illegal mining in the protected area, naming Dinu Solanki as one of the respondents.[1] On 20 July 2010 he was shot dead by two assailants on a motorbike.[2] In September 2012, the Gujarat High Court, severely criticized investigations by the Gujarat police who had "given a clean chit"[3] to Solanki, despite arresting his nephew; the court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) to take up the case.[4] In November 2013, CBI arrested Dinu Solanki in connection with having ordered the murder.[3] On 11 July 2019, Dinu Solanki and his nephew Shiva Solanki were convicted of the murder.[5]
