The state legislature in Nagpur fiercely debated an alleged attack on a Marathi family in Maharashtra's Thane district, involving a government employee. The BJP-led government vowed to deter any 'insult' to Marathi people as authorities moved swiftly to arrest those implicated in the incident.
Akhilesh Shukla, connected to the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation, along with two others, has been apprehended. The indictment relates to an altercation in Kalyan town where Shukla and his wife, reportedly in a neighborly dispute, launched an attack using iron rods and sticks.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured disciplinary measures against those responsible, aligning with widespread legislative calls to protect Marathi cultural rights, amidst allegations of bias faced during everyday activities like public transport and housing allocations.
