The Mumbai Police has served a show cause notice to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Nitin Nandgaonkar. In the notice issued on February 16, the police has mentioned cases registered against him, saying he was spreading fear in society, and asked him why he shouldn't be externed from Mumbai City, the suburbs and Thane district. The notice was sent after a video surfaced, in which Nandgaonkar was seen slapping an auto driver who allegedly beat up a passenger.

Claiming to solve issues of people in distress, Nandgaonkar has in the past been seen beating auto drivers, scamsters etc. Many did not complain against him. Finding him committing the same crime again and again, the police have sent him the notice.
