The families of those arrested for the Elgaar Parishad that triggered the Koregaon-Bhima violence in January this year had gathered outside the special court in Pune on Monday where the case is being heard.

"My husband is innocent and the Pune police have fabricated a case against him. He is 78 years old and has faced 25 cases since 1973. He has not been proven guilty in a single case. This time, too, he will be proved innocent," said Hemalata, 70, wife of Hyderabad-based poet and writer P Varavara Rao.
