Pune Police Book 30–35 MNS Student Wing Members Over Alleged ABVP Office Break-In

The case stems from a Wadia College poster dispute that escalated into a forcible entry with the office locked from outside.

Overview

  • Vishrambaug police registered an FIR under multiple Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections and the Maharashtra Police Act, with efforts underway to identify all participants.
  • The accused named by police include Dhananjay Dalavi, Ketan Dongare, Ashitosh Mane, Mahesh Bhoibar and Hemant Bolage, along with 20–30 others.
  • The complaint alleges MNVS members assaulted ABVP workers, vandalised the Sadashiv Peth office, pasted party posters and locked it from outside, though police later said no injuries were reported.
  • ABVP denied authoring the boycott posters near Wadia College, condemned the incident as politically motivated and organised protests across several campuses demanding action.
  • MNS leader Amit Thackeray met senior Pune police officials, warned of a "reaction" to provocation and party functionaries alleged earlier police inaction over the poster row.
