Mumbai: Taking a
stern view of the assault on a policeman by some legislators in
the Maharashtra assembly complex Tuesday, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan Tuesday assured action against them by
Wednesday.
"This is a deplorable and reprehensible act. Something like this
has never happened in the history of this legislature. We are
investigating, checking out the CCTV records and shall take
necessary action by tomorrow," Chavan told media persons Tuesday
evening.
The provocation for the attack was an incident Monday when
Assistant Police Inspector (Traffic) Sachin Suryawanshi of Worli
police station allegedly stopped the vehicle of independent
legislator Kshitij Thakur and fined him for overspeeding on the
Rajiv Gandhi Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
Thakur and Suryawanshi had an altercation when the police official
during the speed check allegedly misbehaved with the independent
legislator from Nala Sopara (Thane) constituency.
Condemning the assault on Suryawanshi, Chavan said there were
legislative remedies for tackling issues and the incident should
not have taken place in a democratic set-up.
Meanwhile, Thakur said he would "resign if proved wrong".
Suryawanshi has been suspended pending a probe into Thakur's
complaint.
