Nitin Nandgaonkar, Shiv Sena Leader Asks Bandra’s Karachi Sweets Owner To Change Shop’s Name To ‘Something In Marathi’; Video Goes Viral

Shiv Sena leader Nitin Madhukar Nandgaonkar is once again making headlines. In the video that went viral, the MNS-turned-Sena leader is seen asking the owner of Karachi Sweets in Bandra West, Mumbai, to change the name "Karachi". He advised him to change "Karachi" to “something in Marathi”. In the clip, Nandgaonkar can be heard as saying that he has a problem with the word ‘Karachi’ because the place is in Pakistan. "You have to do it, we're giving you time. Change 'Karachi' to something in Marathi," Nandgaonkar said in the video.  "In Mumbai, you cannot keep 'Karachi' name," the Sena leader added. This is not the first time that Nandgaonkar has been in the news for his actions. The Sena leader, who was a former member of Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), was arrested in February this year for allegedly thrashing a man accused of molesting several women near Matunga railway station.
