India, March 26 -- The Maharashtra government on Tuesday said that it would not take immediate action based on the magisterial inquiry report which concluded that the death of law student Somnath Suryavanshi in Parbhani in December while in judicial custody was due to physical abuse by police officers.

Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said in the Maharashtra assembly on Tuesday that the government will wait for the judicial commission's report and take action based on its findings, as there is a discrepancy between the findings of the postmortem report, on which the magisterial inquiry report is based, and the viscera report. He added that the government will book the police officers for murder if they are found guilty.
