Maval police firing: Two police inspectors suspended
Police inspector Ashok Patil and sub-inspector Ganesh Mane have been suspended, Home Minister R R Patil said in the Legislative Council today.
Six police constables -- S S Gengaje, N A Wadge, J H Korde, R B Bhagvat, V B Nagre and M N Dhankar -- attached to Pune rural police were suspended yesterday.
Farmers were protesting against a pipeline project for supply of water from Pavna dam to Pimpri Chinchwad township when police opened fire leaving three persons dead.
The issue has rocked the Maharashtra Legislature since Tuesday, with the opposition stalling the proceedings and demanding immediate action against the policemen involved in the firing.
