Pune, May 31 (PTI) A case has been registered against a 59-year-old man for allegedly urinating on the signboard placed at the gate of 'Shivsrushti' theme park dedicated to Shivaji Maharaj, located at Ambegaon Budruk here, in the wee hours of Saturday, police said.
Based on the complaint lodged by Navnath Amrale, the Bharti Vidyapeeth police registered the case against Amol Arun Kulkarni, an official said.
