The MLA was reportedly upset after his businessman friend Avinash Vasant Patli and his aide were brutalized by police in a bandoblast linked to the local elections.

Patli alleged that his SUV was stopped on the night of December 31 by a police team and that a police officer assaulted him. One of the police officers stole Rs 50 lakh and a gold chain from him, Patli alleged.

Shortly after the alleged incident, Patli and MP Karemore broke into the Mohadi police station and allegedly began to abuse and threaten the cops on duty.

“We registered an FIR against Patli and his assistant for preventing an official from performing his duties during the bandoblast. We also took into account Patli’s complaint that he was assaulted and his valuables and money stolen. We will take appropriate action on both complaints, ”said RP Deshpande, senior inspector of the Mohadi police station.

Asked about the video of the MLA mistreating the cops, Deshpande replied, “We are recording an FIR regarding the incident seen in the video.”

MP Karemore told the media: “I only have one request. If henchmen like cops are in the force, how will people trust the police? A jerk like Rane (officer) needs to be arrested and suspended. The stolen money and the victim’s chain must be found. I will complain about this to the Chief Minister, the Home Secretary and the Deputy Chief Minister. Until we get justice, I will not be quiet.
