Some names have been cropping up frequently in the frenzy of opinion associated with the Palghar lynching, resulting in the death of two sadhus and their driver. These are the names of the organisations active in the district, working on various issues of the adivasis.

The Kashtakari Sanghatana, a rights organisation, working in this area for nearly four decades is in sharp focus. Shiraz Bulsara Prabhu, an ex-activist of the Kashtakari Sanghatana is being targeted on social media, for allegedly trying to help those accused of lynching and get bail for them.
