The MNS party workers shouted slogans outside the offices and vandalised the windows of the office randomly with bats. They asked the security persons to stay away. A video of the incident went viral on social media as onlookers kept watching the entire act.

Chetan Badiyani, customer service manager of Torrent, Bhiwandi, said, “There was no communication from the party regarding their complaints. They directly came and vandalised the offices. We are registering a case against the incident at both our offices.”

MNS state deputy president, D K Mhatre said, “People were irked by the excessive bills by the company and also power cuts. After trying several times to get a response from the company, there was no feedback from them. Hence the protest.”
