The swift action against Pandit is in contrast to how Maharashtra Police have dealt with 13 of the 39 ministers who face serious charges. Nitesh Rane alone has 38 FIRs registered against him.

These men speak for me, and lakhs of Punekars like me, who want to celebrate our festivals in peace without creating any nuisance on the roads and public places
We just happen to be the most neglected vote bank.
Ban DJs and Dolby in public places - why is this so hard to implement?
Punekars are set to march on Sunday, September 6, 2026, to protest against the deafening noise of DJ and loudspeaker setups during the upcoming Ganeshotsav festival. Organized by the 'Punekar Against Loudspeaker' forum, the protest rally is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM from Balgandharva Rangamandir Chowk. The march will proceed via the Jhansi ki Rani statue and culminate at the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) building. The protestors are demanding strict control over high-decibel noise pollution, effective implementation of existing sound regulation rules, immediate action against violators, and the right to a peaceful environment. The movement has gained widespread momentum following social activist Vidyanand Bapat's recent public opposition to loud DJ systems, which has provided a broad platform for citizens' concerns ahead of the festive season.

If you want to live peacefully in India
- Avoid roadrages
- Avoid teaching civic sense to strangers on road
- Avoid public transport
- Avoid discussing politics in public place
- Say sorry with folded hand and move on
People have became impatient and violent specially here.
This is the new epidemic which no one is talking about

My advice to News Anchors. You will sometime be in situation where the guest u invited turns out to be knowledgeable. And questions government with facts, data, logic u can’t counter. At that moment, just stop the guest and ask “Can u sing six Stanzas of Vande Mataram”
Many more Indians would be willing to pay taxes honestly if our money didn't disappear into the pockets of corrupt babus, netas, contractors, and cronies. Do you agree? No one chooses to be dishonest
Santosh Pandit, who questioned a neta on violation of laws - is arrested past midnight.
Vidyanand Bapat, who raised the issues of noise pollution and public inconvenience during festivals - is assaulted in broad daylight.
What a democracy we are! Police sneak in past midnight to arrest a civic activist, while goons are not afraid to assault a citizen in broad daylight.

Meanwhile, Vedant Agarwal, who was involved in the infamous Porsche case that killed two people, was told to write an essay and granted a bail. Our judiciary is one of the reasons we have such a situation in the country :)
