PUNE The Yerawada police on Thursday lodged a first information report (FIR) against Praful alias Gudya Ganesh Kasabe and as many as 60-70 supporters after they held a procession on bikes and cars following his release from the Yerawada central jail following his bail in a Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
