Three women from Maharashtra`s Pune have alleged that police personnel physically harassed them and made casteist remarks during a probe related to a woman, reported missing from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, who stayed with them briefly, reported the PTI.

Following the allegations, political parties, including the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP), have demanded action against the concerned officers and personnel from the Kothrud police station.

The Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar accompanied the three women and a few activists to the Pune Police Commissionerate on Sunday night, and met Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Ranjan Kumar Sharma and sought registration of an offence against the police personnel under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, according to the PTI.
