On October 26, two automobiles belonging to lawyer Gunaratna Sadavarte, a vocal opponent of Maratha reservation, were vandalized in Mumbai’s Parel neighborhood. According to authorities, three guys were later detained for causing damage to the automobiles.
Following violent occurrences in several areas of the state in response to the demand for Maratha reservation, the Mumbai police have increased protection around cabinet ministers, other political heavyweights, political party headquarters, and prominent landmarks in the city.
