“The Pune police are taking immediate action, arresting those responsible, and ensuring they face punishment. Our government will not tolerate such incidents," Fadnavis told the media after attending the virtual inauguration of three Vande Bharat trains by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, two of which will originate from Pune and one from Nagpur.
