Violence erupted during a protest for reservation for the Maratha community in Maharashtra's Jalna district, resulting in injuries to several people, including police personnel. Police have filed a case against over 360 individuals for their alleged involvement in the violence. Opposition leaders condemned the police's use of force and demanded that the government provide reservation to the Maratha community. The reservation provided by the state government was quashed by the Supreme Court in May 2021. The protesters, led by Manoj Jarange, have been on a hunger strike since Tuesday and are firm on continuing their agitation until their demands are met.
