Laxman Hake Detained After Dramatic Sea Protest for OBC Student Rights

OBC leader Laxman Hake staged a dramatic protest at Girgaum Chowpatty today by jumping into the sea, demanding justice for OBC students. The incident drew immediate attention and led to his detention by the Mumbai Police.

Hake, accompanied by a group of supporters, held banners and raised slogans against the state government. The protest was aimed at highlighting the lack of fellowships for OBC students, a matter Hake claims has been consistently ignored by the authorities.

“All students receive fellowships, so why are OBC students being excluded?” questioned Hake during the protest. He also criticized the state government’s handling of OBC welfare, particularly calling out Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar for allegedly failing to allocate sufficient funds.

As the protest intensified, police intervened to prevent any escalation. Officers detained Hake on the spot, escorted him into a police vehicle, and cleared the area of protesters.

The incident has sparked fresh debate around OBC rights and student welfare, with several organizations expected to voice support in the coming days. Police officials have confirmed that Hake was detained as a precautionary measure and will be released after inquiry.

Authorities have appealed to political leaders and activists to adopt peaceful means of protest while addressing sensitive social issues.
