Maharashtra CM orders judicial probe into Parbhani violence over desecration of Constitution replica

India TV News  

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered a judicial inquiry following the recent violence in Parbhani, which occurred after the desecration of a replica of the Constitution at Dr B.R. Meanwhile, CM Fadnavis condemned it as violence is unacceptable, even though the alleged culprit, a man named Pawar, has received 'prompt' arrest and, according to police, is mentally challenged. Parbhani police confirmed that the arrest took place in Pawar right after the discovery of damage caused, but that protests then erupted the next day, resulting in damage to around 20 vehicles and public life disruption. In a tragic turn of events, Somnath Suryawanshi, a 35-year-old man arrested in connection with violence, died inside judicial custody on Sunday.
