Mr. Nerleikar said, ‘It’s an old video. I visited that housing society to see demolition work, but some seniors there insisted that I visit the society office, so I went there without knowing Danish would also be there with cake.’
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 10) Mahesh Reddy said a preliminary inquiry has been ordered. An assistant commissioner of police from the Sakinaka division will conduct the inquiry, he said.
