The farmer, at whom Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had poked fun with crass remarks for his hunger strike over water scarcity, today tried to barge into the official residence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan here but was prevented by the police.
Prabhakar alias Bhaiyya Deshmukh claimed he was bundled out along with other farmers by police when they tried to enter Chavan's residence 'Varsha' at Malabar Hill here to "lodge their protest" on the issue of scarcity of water.
Deputy Police Commissioner Nisar Tamboli said the farmer was not allowed to go inside the bungalow as the Chief Minister was not there and clarified that Deshmukh was not "detained".
