Sainath Babar, a corporator from the Wanowrie-Ramtekdi area and a member of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) was booked along with 10-15 others for throwing garbage in the office chambers of the local ward officer.

“There are no arrests in the case yet. It was the complainant’s office,” said police sub-inspector Umesh Kadam of Wanowrie police station is investigating the case.
The incident happened at around 12 noon on Monday when the complainant was out for the inspection of Swach Sarvekshan-related work. In her complaint, Shinde mentioned that the men targeted the office at that time because they knew she was not present in it to stop them.
