A controversy has erupted after a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader was recorded slapping an employee at a gaming centre in Thane district. The video, widely circulated online, has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters.

The confrontation arose due to complaints that students were skipping school to visit the gaming centre in Kalyan town, allegedly stealing money from home to do so. MNS Kalyan president Ulhas Bhoir confronted the staff, blaming the centre for encouraging truancy and recklessness among minors. The confrontation escalated when Bhoir slapped an employee, accusing the centre of neglect.

Despite the police not receiving a formal complaint, the incident has sparked significant debate online, especially due to Bhoir's resort to violence. Although the truancy issue has raised concerns, questions about the appropriateness of the MNS leader's actions persist, with some connecting it to previous aggressive acts by MNS activists.
