A youth was allegedly publicly assaulted near Mumbai by people claiming to be the supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), and Shiv Sena (UBT), according to a video that has gone viral on social media.
Earlier, the youth had posted a video online in which he used abusive language against MNS chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and hurled multiple slurs at the leaders.
After the video gained significant traction online, the youth were allegedly attacked in public by MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters.
The man was also reportedly forced to record an apology video, which was later shared on social media.
In the apology video, the youth said, "Despite being a Marathi youth, I used offensive language against the leaders. I apologise to Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray, and also to their supporters, for speaking ill about Maharashtra's leaders."
A viral video circulating on social media captured a violent clash between two groups in South Mumbai's Nagpada area late Thursday night, leaving several people injured and triggering a heavy police deployment.
Authorities said one person remains in critical condition, once again highlighting security concerns in the densely populated locality.

The Police have so far detained thirteen people in connection with the incident and are questioning them further. The Mumbai Police have registered a case under relevant Sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are conducting further investigations," Mumbai Police told ANI.
