WATCH: Pune Police Take Vasant More Into Preventive Custody Before Amit Shahs Visit
Pune Police detained Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Vasant More on Saturday as a preventive measure before Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Pune.
More had announced a protest during Shah's visit; police detained him to prevent a possible law-and-order situation.
The detention was preventive and not linked to any fresh criminal case.
Security was tightened in Pune due to VVIP movement and rival demonstrations by Congress and BJP.
More is a former Pune corporator and contested the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly election from Parvati constituency as a Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate, losing to BJP MLA Madhuri Misal.
