The mob raised slogans and pressed for their demands. Later they also ‘gheraod’ the Chief Engineer Nikhare and resorted to sloganeering. Alarmed by the worsening situation, police were summoned by the authorities. Cops asked the protesters to maintain law and order but their instructions went unheeded and the accused persons continued their protest.
It could not be verified whether the deceased Pawan Wase died in any accident in the thermal power plant and the mob was demanding compensation to the kin.
Koradi PSI has registered an offence under Sections 143, 341, 342 of the IPC read with Sub-Section 134 of Mumbai Police Act against the accused and investigating the matter further.
