    Kamble booked under IPC Section 353

    Based on the complaint by the constable, a case has been registered against the BJP leader under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 353 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging his duty).

    Kamble, on the other hand, claimed he did not slap the constable.

    "When I was getting on stage, one person grabbed my shirt's collar, and another person elbowed me thrice. So, I just pushed them back. I don't know who they are," he said.

    Reports claimed that the MLA was annoyed because his name was not included in the program's banner. There are also reports that Kamble slapped NCP worker Jitendra Satav while getting on stage.

    The list of political leaders who have engaged in similar behavior is vast and cuts across party lines. It includes NCP leader Jitendra Awhad, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) leaders Santosh Bangar, Abdul Sattar, Hemant Patil, and Prakash Surve.
