Maharashtra Legislative Council chairman Ramraje Nimbalkar todaydirected the state government to suspend Navi Mumbai police commissioner Hemant Nagrale and deputy commissioner of police Tushar Doshi if the two officials had issued a letter to file an FIR against MLC Jayant Patil.
PWP leader Patil, who is also chairman of the Raigad District Central Cooperative Bank, had raised the issue in the Council andhad demanded their suspension.
"CP Nagrale and the DCP have given a letter to file an FIR against me while the Session is going on," said Patil.
Leader of Opposition Dhananjay Munde seconded the issue and urged the chairman to look into the matter.
"How can police file an FIR against a member while the House is going on," questioned Munde.
Ruling on the issue, Nimbalkar said, "I direct the government to suspend the CP and the DCP if they have indeed issued a letter to file an FIR against Jayant Patil."
