A confrontation broke out in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar area after Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers accused members of a housing society of insulting Marathi-speaking residents over their choice to consume non-vegetarian food. The incident prompted police intervention, though no formal complaint was filed.

A video that surfaced on social media shows MNS workers, led by local leader Raj Parte, confronting Gujarati residents of the society. Parte alleged that four Marathi-speaking families were referred to as “dirty” for eating non-veg food—a claim that sparked outrage.
