Mumbai: Two
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) politicians, including the city
unit head of Maharashtra's Roha town, have been booked for
allegedly threatening a local official who tried to stop illegal
sand dredging, police said.
According to police, the incident occurred just after midnight
Sunday when Roha tehsildar Ganesh Sangle went to inspect a site
where the sand mafia was illegally taking out sand from a creek.
Sangle's vehicle was menacingly surrounded by the mafia while two
political activists, Nitin Parab and Manoj Shinde, allegedly
pointed a pistol at him and ordered him to leave the place.
Sangle retreated and lodged a police complaint at 3 a.m. after
which the authorities swung into action.
Expressing "serious concern", NCP minister Sunil Tatkare, who
hails from the coastal Konkan region, announced suspension of
Parab, the Roha town NCP chief.
Peasants and Workers Party
legislator from Raigad Meenakshi Patil raised the issue in the
assembly.
