BJP corporator caught celebrating birthday with 11 others

The Raigad Police detained at least 11 persons including a Bharatiya Janata Party municipal corporator after they were found celebrating a birthday party violating the lockdown norms, police said here on Saturday.

The incident occurred late on Friday night when the detainees converged at the bungalow of local BJP corporator Ajay Bahira, in a village on the outskirts of the town.

Acting on a tip-off, a police team raided the premises and took into custody the 11 persons including Bahira, allegedly partying with liquor freely flowing on the bungalow terrace, said Senior Inspector of Panvel Police Station A. K. Landge.

They have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and further investigations are underway, he added.

Local politicians have demanded that stringent punitive action must be initiated against Bahira, including suspension as a corporator to serve as a deterrent to others.

This incident comes just five days after BJP legislator from Wardha, Dadarao Y. Keche celebrated his birthday on April 5 and over 200 people gathered at his home in Arvi.

Videos and pix of the incident went viral with the crowds estimated at more than 200 men and women, seen thronging outside the lawmaker’s home where he was reportedly distributing relief material to mark his birthday.

The Wardha district authorities took serious note of the incident and slapped Keche with a notice, but the legislator alleged it was “a conspiracy hatched by his political opponents”.-IANS news
