Police have initiated legal proceedings against 60 supporters of former MLA Bachchu Kadu for allegedly disrupting traffic on a major flyover in Nagpur. This occurred during a rally advocating for a farm loan waiver and other demands, an official announced on Monday.
The procession, which began in Wardha and proceeded towards Parsodi in Hingna via the Butibori flyover, was halted around 12:30 PM when Kadu's supporters greeted him with a sit-in protest. This action blocked traffic on National Highway No. 44, according to police reports.
Cases were filed under several laws, including the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1932, Maharashtra Police Act, and the National Highways Act 1956. A police official highlighted the right to protest but emphasized that obstructing a national highway constitutes a serious offense.
