A shocking incident has surfaced from Tandulwadi village in Vashi taluka of Dharashiv district, where police allegedly brutally lathi-charged protesting farmers. The incident occurred during a demonstration over the Maveja land reclamation demand.
According to sources, farmer Ganesh Sherkar had raised objections after a windmill tower was erected on his farmland, demanding compensation in the form of unified land under the Maveja project. The situation escalated when police arrived at the scene to intervene.
In a disturbing turn of events, it is alleged that police officers pinned Sherkar to the ground, sat on his back, and beat him repeatedly with canes. The entire incident was captured on video, which has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation from the public.
Locals and farmer groups have strongly criticized the police action, accusing the administration of using excessive force against farmers who were peacefully demanding their rights. The incident has ignited tensions in the region and prompted calls for a high-level investigation.
Farmer organizations are now demanding immediate action against the responsible officers, proper compensation for the affected farmer, and a transparent resolution to the Maveja land issue. As public anger continues to grow, the district administration is under pressure to respond swiftly and ensure justice for the aggrieved farmers.
