Journalist Arrested in Sharad Pawar Residence Attack Case, 116 Now in Custody

Hundreds of transport workers had protested outside NCP chief Sharad Pawar's residence on 8 April.

Nearly a week after an alleged attack on senior politician Sharad Pawar's residence during the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) protest outside his house, Mumbai Police on Thursday, 14 April, arrested a person named Sandeep Godbole from Nagpur in connection with the case.

Godbole was later sent to two-day police custody by a magistrate at Esplanade Court.

This comes a day after a journalist was arrested from Pune in the same case, the Maharashtra Police had said on Wednesday.
