Footwear hurled at BJP MLC: Unidentified Maratha activists booked in Indapur
Pune, Dec 11: Some unidentified Maratha quota activists were booked for allegedly throwing footwear at BJP MLC Gopichand Padalkar in Indapur in Pune, a police official said on Monday.
The incident took place on Saturday when Padalkar was on his way to meet milk producers seeking a hike in prices, the official said.
Maratha quota activists were observing a hunger strike nearby and a video showed some of them hurling footwear at Padalkar, before police escorted the MLC to safety, he said.
"A case has been registered against unidentified Maratha activists who were on a hunger strike. We are checking CCTV footage of the area as part of the probe," Inspector Dilip Pawar of Indapur police station said.
An OBC leader said members of the community called for a bandh (shutdown) in Indapur on Monday to protest against the attack on Padalkar.

Bengaluru: Tension at railway station over consignment of meat
Bengaluru, Jul 26: Tension prevailed at the Bengaluru City Railway Station when a consignment of meat weighing about three tonnes loaded in about 150 cartons reached here from Jaipur in a train on Friday night, railway sources said.
Puneeth Kerehalli, a cow vigilante, earlier jailed on murder charge, claimed it was dog meat. However, meat dealer Abdul Razzaq, who had ordered the meat, dismissed the charge.
The consignment was ordered legally and it is not dog meat but sheep meat, he said.
"We have legal documents to prove it. One can see the tail of the animal that was slaughtered. It's sheep and not dog," the meat trader said.
He alleged that Kerehalli wanted to make money by levelling false accusation.
Due to the commotion, a large number of people gathered there, and seeing the situation, police have been deployed.
