'Marathi Seekh Lo, Nahi Toh...': Mumbai Auto Driver Seen Pushing Rickshaw Into Train, Allegedly Trying To Flee Amid Marathi Language Row - VIDEO
A bizarre video of men apparently trying to push an autorickshaw into a train has gone viral on social media, with the footage being shared amid Maharashtra’s ongoing Marathi language row.

A video of men pushing an autorickshaw into a train has surfaced online, igniting discussions amid Maharashtra's ongoing Marathi language controversy. The clip, posted by user @pawanraja808080, depicts a group of men attempting to forcefully insert the vehicle into what appears to be a train's cargo area. According to Pawan, the men were allegedly trying to escape Maharashtra in response to the Regional Transport Office's (RTO) stringent enforcement measures.
"Brothers, after the RTO's action, look at those who don't want to learn Marathi. They are forcing their auto into a train and running back to their villages," he stated. The video has taken on new significance as RTO flying squads recently inspected 1,430 autorickshaw and taxi drivers across Mumbai, issuing show-cause notices to 422 drivers for failing to demonstrate practical knowledge of the Marathi language.
The inspections took place at key transport hubs, including Bandra, Goregaon, Kurla, Dadar, Borivali, Wadala, and Andheri. While the video does not independently prove the men were fleeing due to language requirements, its timing has added a new layer to the debate. The notices issued to the drivers do not immediately lead to badge suspension, but they give them one month to learn practical Marathi and justify any non-compliance.
Failure to comply could result in badge suspension for up to three months, with potential cancellation if the issue persists.
