Chaitanya Maharaj Wadekar's Brother Detained by Chakan Police Sans Complaint

Pune: In Chakan, police detained the brother of renowned Kirtan performer Chaitanya Maharaj Wadekar from his office without explanation, sparking widespread concern.

The police allegedly confiscated his mobile phone and transported him to the police station on a motorcycle. The incident has drawn ire as it emerged that no complaint had been filed against him.

Pramod Wadekar, who runs a design business named Sayaji Design in Chakan, was taken into custody by the Chakan police while his class was in session.

When Chaitanya Maharaj Wadekar learned about this, he went to the Chakan police station, only to find out that there was no complaint filed against his brother.

The police officers involved claimed they were unaware that the person they detained was Wadekar's brother and left the station without further explanation.

Chaitanya Maharaj Wadekar has since filed a complaint against one officer and three employees of the Chakan police station.

When contacted, the Chakan police stated that they had received complaints from some students about the education and intimidation happening at the institute, and their officers were there to investigate.

They claimed the situation was a misunderstanding. However, this incident highlights a troubling misuse of authority by the police, who are responsible for ensuring the safety of individuals doing good work in the community.

Such actions have created an atmosphere of fear among ordinary citizens instead of building trust in the police department.
