Pune police have registered a case against 15 individuals, including students, for allegedly holding a protest at SM Joshi Bridge without valid permission and causing traffic congestion. The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) protest, initially planned for October 2, was cancelled after a meeting between student representatives and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on September 30.
The police considered the earlier permission invalid, as the protest had been postponed. Despite the cancellation, protesters gathered at Indulal Complex on September 29, delivering speeches and planning to continue the agitation through a sit-in and road blockade. Police personnel informed them of the cancellation and prohibitory orders, but they continued their protest, causing traffic issues.
Fifteen people, including student representatives, have been named in the FIR, which cites various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Maharashtra Police Act. The investigation is being conducted by Inspector Vikas Prakash Bhingardive.
