Sadar Police, on Monday, booked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Corporator Pradeep Vasantrao Pohane, along with his 25-30 supporters, for allegedly barging into Regional Officer of National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI) Rajeev Gulabchand Agrawals office at Civil Lines and smearing boot polish on his face.

The accused reportedly broke into the office at around 3:30 pm without permission, shouted slogans, ransacked the office, damaged government material worth Rs 13,800 and smeared boot polish on Agrawals face. 

The protestors later threatened Agrawal by saying, We have just barged into your office, after this we will attack your house.

Agrawals secretary M Shrinivasrao, who tried to film the incident, was also threatened of dire consequences and was forced to delete the clips from his mobile phone.

Pohane and his supporters were protesting against authorities for not focusing on issues of citizens, as there has been a long-term delay in work at Pardhi, where the roads have been partially blocked.

Some unknown miscreants in Nagpur vandalised Bishop Cotton School situated on VIP in Dharampeth during the weekend. Apart from the broken plant pots and damaged earthing wires, empty alcohol bottles could also be seen thrown on the floor of the classrooms.


Prima facie it seems some drunkards might have used the school as their hang out place to consume alcohol as it was a weekend and the school was closed. However, nothing could be ascertained as of now; the investigation on the same is on. 


When Nation Next spoke to Sonia Singh, Principal at Bishop Cotton School, she told us, What kind of a mentality is this Such people should at least spare kids. It’s so disheartening to see something like this. Class 10 students had their board exams today; unfortunately, we couldn’t indulge them much.”

Singh added, “All the pots have been broken, the earthing wires for the newly installed water cooler for kids has also been damaged.”

However, Singh, who filed an FIR at Sitabuld Police Station today, said, this wasn’t the first such incident; even during lockdown, some miscreants had stolen printers and other property of the school.

Ukey had alleged that Fadnavis hadn’t disclosed pending criminal cases against him while filing his nomination papers for the 2009 and 2014 Assembly elections, and thus violated the Representation of People’s Act, 1951. For the past few years, Ukey had also been filing petitions in court against several BJP leaders.

 

During the raid, an army of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel was also deployed under his house. The crime branch had issued a notice to Ukey regarding a land transaction in Nagpur.
