Pulling up the cops involved in the incident in May last year, the panel hoped the Gujarat government will evolve suitable measures to check its repeat after it took up the matter following a privilege notice by Prabha Kishor Taviad on the alleged assault on her by police personnel of Dahod district.
While asking the state government to take appropriate action against Dahod DSP S P Sarang "whose overzealous approach resulted in humiliation of Taviad", the panel condemned the "excessive and avoidable force" against her.
She said she was also pulled by her hair and suffered bruises in the attack. After Speaker Meira Kumar accepted her notice, the Privileges Committee took up the matter.
In his deposition before the panel, Dahod District Collector J M Luni said a state IB report had apprehended that Congress workers led by Taviad could disrupt the function to be chaired by Modi.
