Maharashtra state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Vinayak Ambekar was slapped by Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) workers for his social media post against NCP chief Sharad Pawar. State BJP chief Chandrakant Patil has posted a video of the incident on his Twitter account.

Meanwhile, Pune police registered a non-cognisable offence against four NCP workers for allegedly slapping Ambekar, ANI reported on Monday, 16 May.

"Maharashtra Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Vinayak Ambekar has been attacked by NCP goons, and on behalf of the BJP, I strongly condemn this attack. These NCP goons must be dealt with immediately!" Patil tweeted in Marathi.

In the video, some men can be seen arguing with Ambekar, who is seated at a desk. As the argument continued, one man slapped Ambekar.

This comes a day after Marathi actor Ketaki Chitale and a student, Nikhil Bhamre, were arrested for allegedly sharing objectionable posts on Pawar. A Maharashtra court has remanded Chitale in police custody till 18 May.

While Thane police arrested Chitale, Bhamre was arrested in Nashik.

Chitale has been accused of defamation, promoting enmity, and spreading disharmony among people.
