Sharad Pawar on Saturday met Maratha quota agitators injured in police action a day earlier in Ambad tehsil in Jalna. On Friday, police had resorted to baton charge and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse a violent mob in Antarwali Sarathi on Dhule-Solapur road after those at the site allegedly refused to let authorities shift a man on hunger strike to the hospital.
Around 40 policemen and several protesters were injured and many buses set on fire during the violence that erupted here.
