Mumbai: Two
Maharashtra legislators surrendered Thursday to the Mumbai police
after they were booked for assaulting a policeman at the
Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan two days ago. A court later sent them to
a day's police custody.
A Crime Branch official said that both legislators have been
remanded in their custody for further questioning.
Legislators Ram Kadam and Kshitij Thakur Thursday morning
surrendered before the Crime Branch.
Thakur (Independent) and Kadam (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) were
among the five legislators suspended from the legislature for
assaulting Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Suryawanshi on the
first floor of the Vidhan Bhavan Tuesday afternoon.
The other three were Pradeep Jaiswal (Independent), Rajan Salvi (Shiv
Sena), and Jaikumar Rawal (Bharatiya Janata Party).
The provocation for the assault - described by several political
leaders as a 'Black Day' in the state legislature's history - was
that Suryawanshi stopped Thakur's vehicle for overspeeding on the
Rajiv Gandhi Bandra-Worli Sea Link Monday morning.
