Sharad Pawar's nephew and NCP MLA Rohit Pawar concluded the Yuva Sangharsh Yatra today in the state's sub-capital Nagpur, where Pawar criticized the government on various issues. In his closing speech, Rohit Pawar reiterated demands for the government to send a representative to accept a memorandum outlining concerns about farmers and youth. Despite the concluding meeting, no government representative appeared to accept the memorandum.
Subsequently, as Rohit Pawar and his supporters proceeded towards the legislature, they were detained by the police. The arrest of NCP workers, including Rohit Pawar, led to tension in the area of Vidhan Bhavan. Following the detainment, they were taken to a detention centre.

"We had instructed MLA Rohit Pawar to return peacefully. However, they were heading to the legislature without permission. So we had to take them into custody," the police said.
