Fadnavis faces opposition ire after Maharashtrian family gets assaulted

The incident snowballed into a serious political issue after a video of the alleged assault on the Maharashtrian family went viral, quickly leading to political and social tension. According to the video, Shukla and his wife allegedly abused Maharashtrians as "filthy," accused them of eating meat and fish, after which they were allegedly assaulted with iron rods by Shukla's goons. The victims of the assault had to be hospitalized later.
