BJP removes Sumit Thakur from party

It is reliably gathered that since Sumit Thakur has cases of serious nature registered against him like murder, kidnapping etc, this incident turned out to be the last straw and the city BJP Party leaders decided to remove him from the post of Vice-President of Youth Wing and from primary membership.

Sources added that his act of arson was a result of previous enmity that has been brewing from the time Sumit Thakur was a student leader and accusing Professor Malhar Chindhuji Maske of irregularities and in-turn the Professor accusing him of various crime and misbehavior resulting in police action on previous occasions.

City Congress President Vikas Thakre on learning the incident, reached the spot early in the morning and assured of stern action against the culprits.
