A local Sarpanch in Phulambri, part of the Aurangabad district, choose an unusual and unorthodox method of protesting against the government by purposefully setting fire to his own car. On Friday, a peaceful demonstration calling for Maratha reservation in Maharashtra's Jalna descended into violence as police used baton charges to scatter the protesters. While law enforcement claimed that the protestors had resorted to stone-pelting, necessitating the use of baton charges to restore order, the protesters claimed that the police had used a heavy-handed lathi-charge despite their nonviolent demonstration. Meanwhile, Mangesh Sabale, the Sarpanch of Gevrai Payga in the Phulambri taluka, set his car ablaze, which he had only bought a year ago, wishing to send a message to the state government against the use of lathi charges on protestors. Maratha Reservation Protest: MSRTC Bus Services Suspended in Four Maharashtra Districts, Top Opposition Leaders Rush to Jalna.
