| Shaikh Asif (Present MLA of Malegaon) |
Malegaon MLA Asif Shaikh and his several
followers were held for breaching of cow slaughter law. Yesterday they were
arrested by the Malegaon SP Sunil Kadasne for blocking highway and demanding
permission to Slaughter Jersey Bulls. According to them slaughtering of Jersey
bull is not mentioned in the Maharashtra Animal Prevention (Amendment) Act
1995.
Howerver, The Malegaon police led by additional
superintendent of police Sunil Kadasne, arrested Mr Shaikh and his supporters. They
were produced in front of the Malegaon tehsildar, who released them after
taking personal bonds. Mr Kadasne said that that he had personally gone to Mr
Shaikh’s house and tried to reason with him.
“I told him that being an MLA, this stance was
improper because the law was already in force. He can raise the issue in the
Legislature or go to the courts. However, staging road blockades or morchas
will create law and order problems and so we arrested him,” Mr Kadasne said.
