Protest leads to disappearance
On Sunday, Dhotre participated in a hunger strike outside the District Collector’s office in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to highlight the plight of persons with disabilities. He arrived at the protest early in the morning on his three-wheeler bike.
Although the protest ended that day, Dhotre did not return home. His family initially assumed he had stayed back in the city to attend a bhajan or kirtan, as he often enjoyed such gatherings. However, the viral audio clip revealed his growing frustration.
