In Maharashtra's Nashik district, a 23-year-old pharmacy student was arrested for making objectionable remarks against Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar on Twitter. He told that Nikhil Bhamre, a resident of Satana in Nashik, has been arrested by the Dindori police.

Nikhil had said in his tweet that the time has come to make Baramati's Nathuram Godse for Baramati's Gandhi. However, he did not mention the name of any leader or political party in the tweet.

Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Jitendra Awhad had also tweeted to the police commissioners of Mumbai and Thane and the state director general of police to take strict action against Bhamre.
