MNS Workers Clash with Resident Over Comments Against Raj Thackeray In Kothrud

Tension flared in Pune's Kothrud area after a local resident allegedly made controversial remarks against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, prompting an aggressive response from party workers.

According to reports, MNS activists gathered outside the residence of Kedar Soman, the individual accused of making the objectionable comments. Heated arguments broke out between Soman and the activists, during which Soman allegedly hurled abuses and locked himself inside his home. Enraged by his actions and statements, MNS workers threatened to "not leave until he is beaten," escalating the situation further.

The standoff drew the attention of local police, who quickly arrived at the scene to prevent any untoward incident. Officers managed to calm the agitated activists and escorted Kedar Soman to the police station for questioning.

While no official complaint had been filed by the time of reporting, police are currently investigating the incident. The situation in the area remains tense but under control.

This episode has once again highlighted the sensitive nature of political discourse in Maharashtra and the fervent loyalty of MNS workers to their leader. Authorities are urging all parties to maintain peace and resolve such matters through legal channels.
