Two days after raids and arrests across the country with respect to the Bhima-Koregaon clashes on January 1, 2018, a petition has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking the arrest of Sambhaji Bhide, an accused in the riots case.
Social worker Anita Sawale, in a petition filed through advocate Suresh Mane said, she had got an FIR registered on January 2, 2018, after the clashes that broke out the previous day resulted in the death of a youth, Rahul Fatangale, and in large-scale destruction of property.
Besides Mr. Bhide’s arrest, the plea seeks a free, fair investigation. It also sought records and proceedings of investigation against him.
