Some persons including women violently beat an ex-serviceman and two women over the issue of encroachment on his land at Jogeshwari in Waluj area last Monday. The Waluj MIDC police registered a case against five persons for beating the ex-serviceman and two women.
Police said, Mahesh Ramchandra Tambe (57, Bhavsinghpura) is an ex-serviceman and he purchased 1,856 square feet land from Sangeeta Waghmare in 2006.
A few days back, some women and the villagers tried to encroach the land by installing a statue of the national hero on it. One resident Sumanbai Chautmal informed Tambe.
Tambe came to Jogeshwari and saw that his land had been encroached by some persons. When he inquired about it, he came to know that the villagers Suvarna Pandit, Maya Birare, Anjali Kardak, Subhash Kardak and Nilkanth Amrao have encroached the land. Tambe requested them to remove the statue and clear the encroachment on his land. Accordingly, the villagers cleared the land.
