The Chief Minister of Maharashtra has initiated strict against this incident and has condemned the incident ...It is unfortunate that some elements in our society go all out to force people into doing things that are uncalled for ...They think it is patriotism whereas it is just anti social and goondaism !

The duty of policemen is to bring peace and order in the society. Here the policemen did their duty according to the order of Maharashtra government. When people tried to hoist the saffron flag near Ambedkar Chowk, the police in duty prevented them to do so because the place was officially labelled as a sensitive area.  Then why these people came  back and assaulted the police sub inspector? The government of Maharashtra should take necessary steps to stop such illegal activities that happen in the state.

@ Gulshan Kumaji, why give this incident a communal cover? It is a simple law and order problem. We in India like Rahul make mountains of mole hills.

@MGSingh how can you call it a simple law and order problem & not a communal inspired. Why bring Rahul into it. Not proper

How can MG call it a simple law and order problem, but how can you call it is communal inspired? It is better to wait for some till the investigation report.

The beaten cop's family demanded a departmental probe to find out the reasons for the failure of reinforcements in time to tackle the mob. The police arrested 16 youths. And the probe is on. It's only after the probe, the facts will be known.

The communal angle is so obvious that one can ignore it only by deliberate  choice. Official probes are well known for their conclusions

Hindu bashing on JNU campus or elsewhere is not communal and sedition speeches by minorities is not communal but free expression of opinion  but the media named saffron brigades mis placed patriotism is truly a communal act ! this is India's brand of secularism as preached and practiced by the grand old Communal(kangress) party over the years of it rule !

Glad you have hit the nail on the head.  Sadly reminds me of the time Prithviraj lost to Mohammed of Ghor, when a section of Rajputs sided with Ghor.

Saffron flag as well as extreme Hindutva right wing organization is involved. This is not a simple individual law breaking issue. This was organized activity.  Nobody is making mountains out of mole hills. But the saffron elements expect that their organized lawlessness and rank communal activities be considered trifling.
