Clashes that began on Monday between Dalit and right-wing groups in Pune during an event to mark the 200th anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle spilled into different cities and towns in the state, including Mumbai, on Tuesday. During Monday's clashes, a 28-year-old man was killed, while three others were injured. In Pune, cases were registered by the Pimpri police against Milind Ekbote and Sambhaji Bhide, who head the Hindu Ekta Aghadi and Shivraj Pratishthan, respectively, for allegedly inciting the violence. The two organisations had opposed the celebration of the "British victory" in the 1818 battle.
