A woman who confronted Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan over traffic congestion caused by a BJP rally in Mumbai has become the subject of a police complaint, though officials clarified on Friday that no FIR has been registered against her.
The complaint was filed on Wednesday by Zen Sadavarte, daughter of advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte.
Mumbai police clarified that though there was a complaint against the woman, no FIR has been filed in the case.
The incident took place on Tuesday in Mumbai’s Worli area during a BJP rally organised to target opposition parties over the defeat of the Constitution Amendment Bill aimed at fast-tracking 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
During the event, an agitated woman confronted Mahajan while he was speaking to reporters, objecting to road blockages and inconvenience to commuters.
“Get out of here. You are causing a traffic jam,” she said, questioning why the rally could not be held at a nearby open ground.
Police, however, have registered a case against the rally organisers for alleged violation of norms.
