A Maratha quota activist has been on an indefinite hunger strike, which has entered its 18th day. Manoj Jarange-Patil, the activist, was seen being supported by aides due to his visibly weak condition. He has left for Mumbai with a massive convoy, accompanied by a large number of supporters.

Videos have captured the scene, showing a sea of supporters. It is known that police have twice rejected permission for a proposed event. Further details about the activist's plans and the situation are available.
