Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nov 7 (PTI) A car in the convoy of OBC leader Laxman Hake was vandalized by a mob of protesters in Nanded district of Maharashtra on Thursday evening, police said.
The incident took place at Bachoti village in Kandhar tehsil as there was a face-off between Maratha and OBC activists, said a Kandhar police station official.
Hake has been opposing the demand of Maratha leader Manoj Jarange that Marathas be given reservation under the OBC category.
