Police detained a supporter of former Maharashtra minister Pankaja Munde for protesting outside the office of BJP MP Bhagwat Karad in Aurangabad against the party's decision not to nominate her for the upcoming polls to the state Legislative Council, an official said.

The accused, Sachin Doifode, along with some others raised slogans outside Karad's office in the Kranti Chowk area of Aurangabad on Sunday evening and demanded that Munde be given ticket by the BJP for the MLC polls. The police later detained Doiphode, who was found to be inebriated, the official said. A case was registered against Doiphode and another person under section 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act for violating prohibitory orders and provisions of the Maharashtra Liquor Prohibition Act, he said.
