from october and this time either their funeral procession will take place or the community’s victory (after

getting reservation) will be celebrated.

was found hanging from a light pole on the side of a flyover in Bandra area of Mumbai. He had left a suicide

note, in which there was, a demand to give reservation to the maratha community.
