Earlier also for similar violent action, MNS party workers were in the news
Pune, June 29: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers on Thursday allegedly attacked the manager of Pune PVR over the high price of food items being sold there. MNS workers were caught on camera slapping the theatre manager and carrying banners protesting against overpriced items being sold. After the incident reported, Kishor Shinde MNS Worker who has been identified in the video told to ANI, that he dealt with the theatre manager in MNS style.
The MNS action against theatres owners comes days after Bombay High Court (HC), while hearing a petition on food items being sold in theatres at exorbitant rates, slammed the state government over no policy on price regulation. The division bench of justices Ranjeet More and Anuja Prabhu Desai questioned as to why popcorn worth Rs 5 was being sold at Rs 250 in theatres and multiplexes.
