A police official from the Bavdhan police station confirmed that Chandere has been booked under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including assault and criminal intimidation.
The official stated that the police are taking the matter seriously and have initiated an investigation.
When contacted by the media, NCP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar condemned the incident.
Pawar emphasized that his party does not condone such behavior and expressed his intent to address the matter internally.
He mentioned that he had tried to reach out to Chandere for an explanation but was unable to do so, as he was reportedly out of reach.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for stringent action against Chandere.
Local residents and political analysts have also weighed in, highlighting the need for leaders to conduct themselves with dignity and respect.

As the investigation progresses, the focus remains on ensuring justice for the victim and upholding the law.
