A case has been registered against 10 to 11 people, including two corporators from the Ajit Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party, over alleged unauthorised entry, vandalism, damage and theft at a Pune Municipal Corporation study centre and library, according to a report by Lokmat – Pune.
The complaint was filed at the Parvati police station. The two corporators named in the complaint are Suraj Lokhande and Priya Gadade Patil. Police have begun investigating the allegations and are examining the circumstances surrounding the reported incident.
According to the complaint, the individuals entered the municipal study centre and library without the complainant’s consent. They have been accused of damaging property inside the civic facilities and allegedly stealing items from the premises. The report does not provide details of the value of the alleged loss or specify which items were reportedly taken.
The facilities involved are operated by the Pune Municipal Corporation and are intended to serve residents using public study and library spaces. The complaint alleges that the premises were entered without authorisation and that the incident resulted in damage to the facilities. The available report does not state whether the study centre or library was closed to users following the incident.
The complaint also includes an allegation that the complainant was subjected to caste-based abuse and publicly insulted when the person went to question those involved about the incident. This allegation has been included in the police complaint. The available report does not specify the exact provisions applied in the case.
The identities of the other people named in the complaint have not been provided in the report. The allegations have not been established by a court, and the filing of a police case does not by itself prove wrongdoing. Police are investigating the reasons behind the incident, the accuracy of the allegations and the role of the individuals named in the complaint.
The Parvati police investigation is the next official step in the matter. Further details are expected to emerge as investigators record statements and examine the alleged damage, unauthorised entry and theft at the municipal study centre and library.
