PC appeals to citizens
Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh on Monday appealed to citizens who have received threats from corporator Deepak Mankar to come forward. “Anybody who has been cheated or threatened by Mankar should approach police with all details. We assure proper action,” he said. "We have started gathering information about his past. We have also asked Pune rural police to check if he was involved in any land grabbing activities or other crimes in their jurisdiction. If found involvement, we may invoke stringent laws against him,” Singh added.
