Protest Outside Sanguem Police Station Over FIR Demand Against MLA Subhash Pal Desai

Meshu DeCosta and Usha Naik staged a road blockade outside the Sanguem Police Station on Wednesday, accusing the police of failing to register an FIR against Sanguem MLA Subhash Pal Desai. The protest centred around allegations that the MLA misused the nationally significant Indian Flag Post site at the Sanguem bus stand during the celebrations following the Bihar election victory.

The demonstrators demanded immediate action from the police, claiming that the alleged misuse of the site—considered a symbol of national pride—warranted strict legal scrutiny. Their agitation briefly disrupted traffic as they occupied the main road to draw attention to their grievances.
