Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) Member of Parliament (MP) Supriya Sule has strongly criticised the Pune City Police for imposing wide-ranging prohibitry orders in the city, accusing the administration of targeting small businessmen and street vendors instead of addressing rising crime.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Sule questioned the rationale behind the restrictions, stating, “Pune has now become a 24-hour working city. By stepping on the stomachs of small businessmen who earn their livelihood on a daily basis, what exactly is the police administration trying to prove?”
