Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar witnessed tense moments on the day of the PMC vote counting as Maharashtra Minister Sanjay Shirsat accused local police of using excessive force against his party workers. Speaking to the media, Shirsat claimed that nearly 100 policemen lathi-charged workers while they were entering the counting centre, leaving several injured.
“Today is the counting of the votes, and on such a day, when our workers were coming into the centre, nearly 100 policemen opened lathi charge on them and wounded them severely,” said Shirsat. He added, “Action should be taken against this. The police should show their force on the criminals, instead of the workers… This is the misuse of power. We are filing MLC against them.”
