 Pawar, who was now leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, had initially stated that he feared state government was trying to frame him by altering the commission’s report.The commission concluded that the police were right to initiate a baton charge on the surging crowd in order to maintain order while the assembly session was going on.It also noted that almost all deaths were caused due to people getting trampled under the feet of the stampeding crowd and suffering asphyxia, and not due to injuries caused by the baton charge.
