Kashimira police in Mira Road have booked seven individuals suspected to be members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) following an incident where a sweet shop owner was assaulted. The assault occurred because the shop owner did not speak Marathi. A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows an argument escalating into violence. One man is seen attacking the shop owner, followed by another wearing an MNS party stole repeatedly hitting the victim. The shop owner, Babulal Khimji Chaudhary, stated that the men approached his shop, requesting water. Chaudhary explained that his employees were from other states and not fluent in Marathi, but the men insisted on everyone in Maharashtra knowing the language. The incident is part of a larger language-based controversy.
