Pune: No FIR related to Elgar suppressed, says Rashmi Shukla

PUNE: Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer and then Pune police commissioner Rashmi Shukla on Friday said it would not be correct to say that the police suppressed one FIR, filed on January 3, 2018, against only two speakers related to the Elgar Parishad and acted proactively on another filed on January 8, 2018, by Tushar Damgude, by adding details to implicate more people.

The first FIR based on Akshay Bikkad’s complaint was related to speeches by Dalit activist Jignesh Mevani and former JNU student Umar Khalid, which was initially taken by the Deccan Gymkhana police and later transferred to the Vishrambaug police.
