The controversial issue of putting up posters in the Kolshewadi area of Kalyan East in Thane district has taken an unfortunate turn. Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) sub-division chief Ramesh Tike has died, and the Thackeray faction has made serious allegations of police pressure. This incident that happened yesterday has heated up the local political atmosphere, and questions have been raised about the role of the police.
The information about the incident is that yesterday the Thackeray faction had put up posters of missing corporators in the Kolshewadi area. A complaint was filed against Ramesh Tike regarding this. The police were repeatedly calling him to the Kalyan police station and ordering him to be present for inquiry. Activists of the Thackeray faction say that it was due to this constant pressure that Tike died. “The police deliberately caused mental harassment, and this was the result,” alleged the officials of the faction.
This case has created tension on the political stage of Kalyan East. Leaders of the Thackeray faction said, “This was not just a matter of posters, but an example of political hatred. The police action was not transparent.” On the other hand, the opposition has categorically denied these allegations, saying, “The police's job is to uphold the law. The allegations will be proven in the investigation.”
