Former Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Rajan Vichare summoned traders to his office, where they were allegedly beaten up and forced to apologise following a scuffle between a man named Kiran Sawant and some shopkeepers. "Speak in Marathi...you assaulted...a Marathi," a man said in a video. One of the traders was also slapped and they were seen touching a man's feet.
