"Marathi Ko Mara?": How Phone Recharge Dispute Snowballed Into Marathi Row

An altercation over a phone recharge in Thane has snowballed into a Marathi vs non-Marathi row, and a leader of Uddhav Thackeray's party is drawing fire over a viral video in which some non-Marathis are seen apologising to a Marathi man as he slaps them across the face.

This comes at a time when the language row in Maharashtra is intensifying after some supporters of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena assaulted a shopkeeper for refusing to speak Marathi.
