'Devotees being thrashed and abused by the guards'

MUMBAI Two Bombay High Court lawyers have lodged a complaint with the Mumbai Police, accusing the Lalbaugcha Raja pandal of discriminating between VIPs and ordinary devotees. The complaint was submitted following a viral video showing contrasting treatment of common people and VIPs during prayers at the pandal.

In the video, pandal staff are seen forcefully pushing devotees immediately after they offer their prayers at the feet of Lord Ganesha, while a separate group of VIPs remains undisturbed, calmly smiling for the cameras. The lawyers, Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra, expressed outrage at this unequal treatment, which they argue has been occurring repeatedly over the years.
