Sumona Chakravarti Deletes Post After Alleging Maratha Quota Protesters Mobbed Her Car In South Mumbai

Her account drew attention to policing during Manoj Jarange’s Azad Maidan push for a 10% OBC quota.

Overview

  • The actor said a crowd blocked her car around 12:30 pm on August 31 between Colaba and Fort, with one man banging the bonnet and others hitting windows while shouting “Jai Maharashtra.”
  • She wrote that she felt genuinely unsafe in broad daylight and was relieved a male friend was with her, adding she avoided filming to prevent escalation.
  • Chakravarti criticized the police response, saying officers she later saw were idle and that there was “no law and order.”
  • Her post described pavements taken over and streets littered with waste, calling the scene a “complete mockery of civic sense.”
  • Multiple outlets report she deleted the Instagram note; the Azad Maidan agitation continues under Manoj Jarange, who is on a hunger strike seeking a 10% OBC reservation, and no detailed police statement on her account was reported.
