How girl's short dress row led to Sinhagad fight

Police in Maharashtra have registered an FIR against eight members of a right-wing group following an alleged assault that occurred at Sinhagad Fort near Pune. The incident took place on Monday near the memorial of Tanaji Malusare, a military commander who served under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The argument began when a man and his family were taking photographs at the fort.

A group of right-wing members approached them, questioning their attire and photographic activities, ultimately requesting their departure from the premises. The situation escalated when the man and his wife, allegedly part of the group of right-wing supporters, were subjected to physical abuse and intimidation by members of the group.

The complainant informed the police, who subsequently registered an FIR against all eight accused, including three women. Further investigation is underway, and police are actively searching for the accused members to ensure justice is served.
