Rohit Pawar, the grandnephew of NCP (SP) head Sharad Pawar, got engaged in a heated exchange with a policeman at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan police station on Friday (July 18, 2025).

After the clash, members of both the groups were detained inside the Vidhan Bhavan and were eventually handed over to the police.

If you raise your hand, I will teach you a lesson.” Based on a complaint, a case has been registered against Rohit Pawar for allegedly obstructing public servants in discharging duty, an official said.
