Court notices to Bhagwat, Maha Govt over use of batons in RSS march

NAGPUR: A court here on Thursday sought the response of Mohan Bhagwat and the Maharashtra Government on a plea calling for action against the RSS chief and other members for using batons at a public place during the Sangh’s annual “path sanchalan” (route march).

Social worker Mohanish Jeevanlal Jabalpure had approached the sessions court seeking action under the Arms Act against Bhagwat and RSS member Anil Bhokhare for using batons in public place.

The sessions court issued notices to the State Government, Nagpur police, Bhagwat and Bhokhare and posted the application for further hearing on December 11.

Jabalpure had earlier approached the Kotwali police station in Nagpur seeking that action be initiated against Bhagwat and other RSS workers under the Arms Act.

However, when the police failed to take action, he approached a magistrate court, which rejected his application. (AGENCIES)
