Activists from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) beat up a group of hawkers after one of them allegedly argued with a Marathi-speaking customer in Maharashtra’s Thane district. A video of the incident, which took place in Kalyan town on Sunday, has surfaced on social media.
Local MNS leaders who spoke to the media claimed that a man purchased an item from a hawker on a skywalk and later returned it citing that it was not
proper.
The hawker allegedly argued and verbally abused the Marathi-speaking customer, who approached the local MNS office and complained, they said.
The video shows the MNS activists beating up the hawker and a few other vendors on the skywalk. They are then dragged away accompanied by policemen. According to the local police, no one has approached them with a complaint so far.
