The state government has transferred Mira-Bhayander Vasai-Virar (MBVV) police commissioner Madhukar Pandey, a day after protesters led by the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) marched in large numbers through the streets of Mira Road, inflaming tensions amid the raging language row.
Sources in the state home department said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was not happy with the local police for denying permission for the march after the organisers refused to alter their route, as instructed by the police.
“There was no reason to deny permission when there is no culture of denying permission for any rightful protest. The leadership was upset as the police commissioner did not inform the home minister that he had denied permission, nor did he consult the director general of police,” said a senior official from the home department.
