When Beat Marshal Praveen Meshram intervened and questioned the trio for indulging in public drinking, Thakre reportedly turned violent. He allegedly hurled abuses, pushed the officer, and struck him on the hand during the scuffle. Despite repeated attempts by the police to de-escalate the situation, Thakre continued to behave in an aggressive and disorderly manner.
He was immediately detained and taken to the Dhantoli Police Station, where his unruly behaviour continued, further obstructing official work. Medical examination confirmed that he was heavily intoxicated at the time.
A case has been registered under sections 132 (obstructing public servant), 221 (resisting lawful apprehension), 355 (assault on public servant), and 352 (use of criminal force) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Co-Section 85(1) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. He was formally arrested at 4 am on July 9.
Senior Police Inspector Anamika Mirzapure confirmed the incident and emphasized that strict action will be taken against those who attack or obstruct public servants in the line of duty.
