Maharashtra Reviews Koregaon Bhima Cases In Which Activists Were Jailed

The Maharashtra government is reviewing the cases related to the 2018 Bhima Koregaon violence, for which 10 activists were jailed during the previous BJP-led rule in the state. Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, a senior NCP leader, has called senior officials of Pune Police to Mumbai for a meeting. He says he will take a decision on the future of the case after he has all the information from the police on the evidence against the jailed activists. The case has been politically charged, with the BJP facing allegations of jailing activists who were opposed to its ideology and branding them as "urban Naxals".
