A video showing workers of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) forcing a man to perform squats for posting 'objectionable' comment on party chief Raj Thackeray's Facebook page went viral on social media Friday.

A local party leader defended the 'punishment', saying such behaviour will not be "tolerated". The incident took place in Hadapsar area of Pune Thursday. The video showed MNS workers taking the man, about 20-25 years old, to task for his comment on Thackeray's Facebook page, and making him apologise and perform squats.
