Republic TV journalist Pradeep Bhandari was questioned by the police on Saturday after being booked on October 9 for allegedly obstructing the police and gathering a crowd during the BMC’s partial demolition of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s bungalow last month.

A case was registered against Bhandari at Khar police station for allegedly using criminal force to deter public servants from discharging their duties and disobeying orders issued by the police against forming a crowd.
