MUMBAI, Sept. 6 -- A day after a video clip of deputy chief minister and president of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Ajit Pawar reprimanding probationary IPS officer Anjana Krishna on a video call went viral, he clarified that his act was not in any way meant to interfere with her job (of law enforcement). On Monday, when Krishna was taking action against a group of men who were caught stealing murum, commonly used in road construction, in Kurdu village in Karmala, Solapur, she received a call from the NCP chief purportedly asking her to halt the action. As Pawar was speaking to her from an NCP worker's phone, Krishna asked him to call her directly from his phone, saying she was unable to recognize his voice. Pawar then made the video call and spoke to her sarcastically. On Friday, Pawar backpedalled, saying he did not want the law and order in the village to be compromised, even as Solapur police booked 19 villagers, most of them NCP office-bearers and workers, for the illegal extraction and obstructing a public servant from performing her duty. Meanwhile, despite Pawar's clarification, NCP spokesperson and Pawar aide Amol Mitkari has written to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), to enquire into the educational qualifications and caste documents submitted by Krishna. He told the media on Friday: "She is working in Maharashtra and doesn't even know the deputy chief minister of that state." P5...
