Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Jitendra Awhad's intervention in the matter of a Mumbai cop's family thrown out of their village in Satara has come as a huge relief for constable Pravin Waghmare. Following mid-day's report on the matter, he asked the Satara SP to take strict action against the sarpanch and villagers and register an FIR in the matter. However, after Waghmare refused to file a complaint, the Satara cops just issued a warning.

When asked why he refused to register a complaint in the matter, Waghmare said that the villagers were like his family. Later, the Satara cops issued a warning to the sarpanch and villagers and asked them to welcome frontline warriors and their families if they have the required permissions.
