The Pune City Police have taken legal action against seven individuals who made offensive remarks towards Rupali Chakankar, the chairperson of the Maharashtra State Women Commission and the state president of the NCP's Ajit Pawar faction's women wing.
. These individuals posted objectionable comments during a live YouTube session featuring Supriya Sule's speech in Yeola, Nashik, as well as during a Facebook live session conducted by Rupali Chakankar herself from her official page.
