The leaders also demanded immediate suspension and slapping of section 302 of IPC on circle officer Ajit Pawar who gave shooting orders yesterday, they claimed.
Earlier, the bandh turned violent with protesters opposing the passage of the proposed 9900mw Nuclear Power Plant in Jaitapur pelted stones on the building of Ratnagiri civil hospital where dead body of Tavrez is kept for postmortem besides setting some state transport buses on fire.
Relatives of Tavrez, who was yesterday killed in police firing at Sakhrinate village when around 600-700 locals protesting against the project attacked the local police station, have refused to take possession of his body.
