Mumbai Police Summon Manoj Jarange-Patil, Five Others for Nov. 10 Questioning in Azad Maidan Case

The notice was issued under BNS Section 35(3) in a case alleging breaches of prohibitory orders during the late-August protest.

Overview

  • Jarange-Patil and five organisers have been directed to appear at Azad Maidan Police Station on Monday, November 10, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
  • The summons was issued by Police Inspector (Law and Order) Dnyaneshwar Awhad using powers under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, officials said.
  • An FIR registered on September 3 cites BNS Sections 189(2), 189(3), 190, 223(1), 223(2), 126(2), 271 and Maharashtra Police Act Sections 37(3), 38, 135, and 136.
  • Police allege the protest proceeded without permission under Section 144, drew thousands to Azad Maidan, and caused road blockages and traffic disruption.
  • The agitation featured an August 29–September 2 hunger strike that ended after acceptance of a state cabinet sub-committee GR on Kunbi caste status, with the Bombay High Court later scrutinizing crowd management and procedural disclosures.
