Key Questions Answered
Four police personnel—Rohini Darandale, Deepak Rokle, Pallavi Rokle, and Atul Kajol—were temporarily transferred by Superintendent of Police Mummakka Sudarshan to prevent them from obstructing an ongoing investigation into a controversial ganja operation.
Social activist Shakir Sheikh filed a complaint pointing out discrepancies between CCTV footage and official station diary entries regarding a July 10 NDPS operation. The footage allegedly shows police present at the scene before the official time they claimed to receive secret information.
Shakir Sheikh demanded a forensic examination of digital evidence, an independent inquiry, and the suspension of five individuals including PSI Ganesh Deshmukh. He warned that if no concrete action is taken by September 27, he will begin a hunger strike on September 28 and file a petition in the Aurangabad bench of the Mumbai High Court.
