NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said that his party will ask Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the Bhima Koregaon case properly. "We will be asking the Maharashtra Chief Minister to form an SIT to investigate Elgaar Parishad's case properly," said Pawar.

In January last year, violence erupted at an event to mark the 100 years of the Bhima-Koregaon battle, leaving one dead and several injured including 10 policemen in Pune. The police had filed 58 cases against 162 people during a state-wide shutdown in January following clashes in Bhima-Koregaon.
