Film snatched from lensman
An Indian Express photographer, Manoj Patil, was yesterday manhandled at the Crime Branch office after he photographed Ashok Sanghavi, owner of Wilson Pen Company and another industrialist Ashok Saraf who were interrogated last night in connection with a case involving Shree Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal.
A man who was accompanying Sanghvi and Saraf snatched away Manoj8217;s camera and removed the roll. He also took away a few blank rolls the cameraman was carrying. All this happened in the cabin of a senior policeofficer who had earlier tried to prevent Manoj from clicking the duo.
