Animal rights organisation PETA has written to poll authorities and Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar over MLA Rohit Pawar dangling a crab during a recent press conference and sought action against him, news wire PTI reported.
In the letter to Pawar and District Election Officer Minal Kalaskar, PETA India Advocacy Associate Shaurya Agrawal said, "It is evident from the video that Rohit Pawar`s use of the crab was pre-planned. For a media stunt, unnecessary pain and suffering were caused to the animal."
