Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar has demanded a high-level investigation into the violence that occurred during an anti-encroachment drive at Vishalgad Fort in Kolhapur. He also called for action against the local authorities, including the collector and police superintendent.
In a letter to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Vishalgad violence, Wadettiwar said that anti-social groups targeted a certain community in the name of eliminating encroachments. He alleged that the violence in Gazapur, Vishalgad, was government-sponsored and demanded that the main culprit be identified, reported PTI.
