Togadia so far."After seeing the news reports, the poll panel asked us to
submit an Action Taken Report if there is truth in the allegations against
Togadia. Thus, I have ordered an inquiry and asked the 'B' division police of
Bhavnagar city to acquire the CD of that speech. However, we haven't found the
CD yet," said Pawar."Apart from the CD, we are also collecting other
evidences such as taking statements of society residents. If we find enough
