Eight Protesters Booked at Pune Police HQ
Some activists protested at the Pune police headquarters, upset about how the police treated three women in a missing person case.
The activists claimed the police harassed the women and used casteist slurs.
They demanded action against the officers.
During the protest, the activists entered without permission, and caused a disturbance.
Now, eight of them have been charged for unlawful assembly, obstructing a public servant, and damaging property.
Eight protesters were booked for unlawful assembly after demonstrating at the Pune Police Commissionerate.
Protesters demanded action against police personnel for allegedly assaulting three women and making casteist remarks.
The incident stems from allegations of harassment and casteist comments made by Kothrud police officers during a missing person investigation.
Activists entered the commissionerate without permission, raised slogans, and caused a ruckus.
One activist allegedly tore a letter stating that a preliminary probe found no substance in the allegations.
