Sena stages protests, says police helped ally BJP in district council chief poll
Shiv Sena ministers and legislators staged protests on the Maharashtra assembly premises on Monday, demanding action against a “partisan” police superintendent, Tushar Doshi, for allegedly helping ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Satara district council chief election. Shinde said he contacted Doshi and Maharashtra Police chief Sadanand Date to ensure all council members vote. “But police took them into custody from outside the polling booth despite opposition from our ministers and lawmakers present,” he said.
