The committee has asked Manu Kumar Srivastava (chief secretary, Maharashtra), Rajnish Seth (DGP), Sanjay Pandey (commissioner of police, Mumbai), Yashwant Bhanudas Fad (superintendent, women district prison, Byculla, Mumbai) to be present physically on June 15.
Telangana officers have been asked to be present in connection with the complaint lodged on January 3 by Sanjay Kumar Bandi, against Satyanarayana, commissioner of police and three other police officials for forcefully arresting him and for attempting to produce him before the court for 'remand' with false case filings.
Navneet Rana and her husband Ravi Rana, an MLA, had been arrested by the Mumbai police on April 23 for declaring that they would recite Hanuman Chalisa outside 'Matoshree', Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's residence.
