Nagpur, May 16: Probity campaigner Anna Hazare was today shown black flags here by some unidentified youth, police said.
The youth waved black flags at Hazare's convoy in the afternoon at a couple of places in the city, they said.
An agitation was also held outside Chitnis Park Stadium at Mahal area where he was supposed to address a public rally in the evening as a part of his ongoing statewide tour. Some youth threw anti-Hazare handbills near Panchsheel Cinema in Ramdaspeth area.
Hazare's aide Suresh Pathare claimed one of the vehicles of the Gandhian's convoy parked near the stadium was pelted with stones but police denied it.
According to sources in the Police Control Room, after addressing the media at Patrakar Bhawan in Dhantoli, Hazare straightway left for the state Guest House at Civil Lines and not to the venue of the public meeting at Mahal and there was no stone-pelting on his convoy.
The anti-graft crusader went on to address the public meeting in the evening as scheduled.
Hazare is on a Maharashtra tour for spreading awareness among people about the need for enacting a strong anti-corruption ombudsman.
Team Anna member Kiran Bedi alleged a vehicle accompanying Hazare's car carrying books and material had been attacked.
“A vehicle accompanying Anna's car carrying books and material for ongoing Maharashtra tour has been attacked, windows broken. Annaji is safe,” Bedi tweeted.
