Ex-NCP min held for disrupting film screening, assaulting viewer
Thane: NCP leader and former minister Jitendra Awhad, his colleague and ex-MP Anand Paranjpe and 10 of their party workers were arrested by the Vartak Nagar police in Thane for allegedly assaulting a a member of the audience inside a multiplex and stalling a show of Marathi movie Har Har Mahadev on Tuesday. Charges of rioting, assault and molestation were invoked after the same viewer complained that the NCP men had tried to touch his wife.
Awhad will be produced in a Thane court on Saturday. He will have to spend a night in police custody, said an officer. Awhad had barged into a multiplex inside Viviana mall on Monday and disrupted a screening; he ordered the audience to leave the auditorium. Awhad alleged that the movie based on Chhatrapati Shivaji’s life distorted facts and depicted historical characters in poor light.
