Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today asserted that those responsible for the caste violence in Pune will face action and the matter will be taken to its logical end.

He said his government will soon approach the Bombay high court, asking it to name a sitting judge to probe the January 1 violence at Bhima-Koregaon in Pune district.

Talking to reporters here, he said the judicial probe ordered by the government will take the case to its logical conclusion.

"Footage of the violence and sequence of events are being screened and action will be taken against the guilty. We will take the case to its logical end," Fadnavis said.

He appealed for harmony and said all sections of the society, especially the media, must exercise restrain and ensure there is no caste conflict.
