Police detain prime accused in Bhima-Koregaon violence
After the Supreme Court denied his anticipatory bail plea on Wednesday, police detained Milind Ekbote, the prime accused in the Bhima-Koregaon violence. He is facing charges of inciting violence, attempt to murder and atrocities against Dalits. The violence had been triggered when Ekbote and others, reportedly carrying saffron flags, had allegedly pelted stones at Dalits gathered to mark an event.
