"Sadavarte was produced before a court, which remanded him to the police custody till April 25," advocate Shivajirao Rane, who represents the complainant said.

As per the police complaint, after the Supreme Court struck down the Maratha reservation on May 5, 2021, during a television interview Sadavarte allegedly made some objectionable remarks and promoted enmity between the Maratha and Backward Class communities.
