Council takes note of misbehaviour by police
Mumbai, Mar 26 (UNI) Maharashtra government was today asked to file a report within eight days on the alleged misbehaviour of police with a legislative council member.
The direction was given by deputy chairman Vasant Dawkhare in the council. He lashed out at the government for not taking action against the police officer, who had verbally abused the Sena MLC, Parshuram Uparkar at Malvan in Sindhodurg district of the state.
