A public toilet attendant in Nanded, Maharashtra, was allegedly slapped by MNS members after they confronted him for not speaking Marathi.
In a video that's now viral, the group questioned why he charged women ₹5 and didn't use Marathi.
The attendant replied, "I won't speak in Marathi. What will you do?" but the group still demanded a public apology.
