Three days after the historic Ambedkar Bhavan was razed to the ground in the dead of night, the outrage among the Dalit community intensified further yesterday, as over 1,000 protestors took to the streets threatening to ‘shut down all of Maharashtra’ unless the cops arrest the man who ordered the demolition.
