Mumbai: A helicopter pilot has lodged a complaint against the supporters of senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde, accusing them on beating him and an engineer on Thursday.
Apart from the police, pilot Utpal Banerjee has also registered a complaint with Rotary Wing Society of India (RWSI), apex body for helicopter pilots, which is all set to take up the matter with the Election Commission and the civil aviation regulator, DGCA.
Reportedly, Raymond group pilot Banerjee, who was assigned the task of taking Munde on his campaign trail, had refused to make an unscheduled trip to Veda, incensing his supporters. According to Banerjee, they had no permission or requisite clearance, as Munde had decided to fly to Veda, and not to Parli as scheduled, in the last minute. Also, the entourage was supposed to return to the Beed helipad after the campaigning by 3.30 pm, but they returned at 4.15 pm.
