MNS Worker Arrested in Pune Over Removal of PM Modi's Photo
Police in Pune arrested Maharashtra Navnirman Sena worker Ashish Sable for allegedly removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photograph from a government college. An FIR also names MNS student wing president Amit Thackeray and 20-25 others. The incident occurred Monday at Government Polytechnic College, where Thackeray and workers objected to Modi's photo alongside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr BR Ambedkar. The complaint alleges they entered without permission, removed the photo, threatened staff, and created a disturbance. The arrest follows political backlash from BJP leaders and street clashes between party supporters in Mumbai. Police have arrested two other MNS workers and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify additional participants in the incident.
