Developments: 2. Amit Thackeray, president of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, and approximately 20 to 25 associates have been booked by Pune police following an incident at the Government Polytechnic in Ganeshkhind. The dispute arose during a visit to inspect college infrastructure. According to complaints, Thackeray and his supporters allegedly entered the principal’s office without permission, caused a disturbance by shouting slogans, and intimidated staff. A central point of the incident involved the removal of a photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the office. Thackeray reportedly argued that the portrait should not be displayed alongside historic icons such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, suggesting that current leaders should be displayed on separate walls according to protocol. The Bharatiya Janata Party has condemned the incident as “political immaturity.” Law enforcement has initiated an investigation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Maharashtra Police Act. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Amit Thackeray booked for removing PM Modi's photo in Pune Amit Raj Thackeray and several MNS workers face an FIR after allegedly removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photograph from a Pune government college office. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/amit-thackeray-booked-for-removing-pm-modis-photo-in-pune ### 2026-08-31: Amit Thackeray and 25 activists booked in Pune for college disturbance Pune police have registered a case against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Amit Thackeray and several supporters for allegedly trespassing, threatening staff, and causing a disturbance at a government polytech 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/amit-thackeray-and-25-others-booked-in-pune-for-college-disturbance --- Cite as: Pune police case against Amit Thackeray.
