Palghar: To ‘speed-up’ the process of getting a ration card, an aged man from Vasai allegedly stripped naked in front of a lady officer at the tehsil office yesterday evening.

The accused and his brother went to the tehsil office and told the lady officer to issue them their mother’s ration card immediately or else they would strip, Vasai police station duty officer S M Patil said. One of the brothers took off his shirt, pant as well as his underwear and made unpleasant actions at the lady officer, Patil said.
