According to reports, Deokar, who hails from Sultanpur in Junnar tehsil, climbed a wall of the bridge to voice his displeasure and demand justice for the tehsildar’s alleged refusal to register the landowner’s name.

The Khadki police swiftly responded to the incident and persuaded the protester to descend from the bridge.

He was later charged under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 309 and 189.
