THE FATHER OF SHRADDHA REQUESTS ACTION AGAINST COPS.
Last week, Vikas Walkar, Shraddha Walkar’s father, met with Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar police chief Madhukar Pandey and demanded action against the officers who failed to act quickly on two complaints. Pandey has promised to take action against the wrongdoing officials.
Shraddha, according to Vikas, filed a complaint with the Tulinj police in 2020, accusing Poonawala of abusing and assaulting her, while he approached the Manikpur police after his daughter went missing last year. He had previously claimed that both police stations, which are under the jurisdiction of the MBVV, did not act quickly on the complaints.
