Mumbai: 8 detained after Cong protest against advt mocking party – Times of India

Mumbai: Some Mumbai Congress party workers vandalised the office of a food and beverages company at Andheri (E) on Tuesday over a commercial that allegedly mocked Congress leaders Rahul and Sonia Gandhi. MIDC police registered an FIR against eight party workers and detained them. Some party workers were not wearing masks.
Around 10 party workers stormed into the office of Storia Foods at Mahakali Caves Road. They trashed office equipment, furniture and glass panes. The group, led by Nitin Sawant, general secretary of Mumbai Congress, carried flags and shouted slogans. Sawant was accompanied by Youth Congress party workers. Before he was detained by police, Sawant accepted responsibility for the vandalism and said the humiliation of the party leadership would not be tolerated.
As the company did not press charges, police only booked the party workers for violating Covid guidelines. tnn
