00:00A 59-year-old man, Amol Arun Kulkarni, was detained by Pune police after he was caught
00:06on video urinating on a signboard of Shivzroosti, a historical theme park dedicated to Chhatrapati
00:11Shivaji Maharaj at Ambege on Budru. The shocking act, recorded by students of Siengad College
00:17around 3 a.m. on 31 May, has triggered widespread outrage. The video shows Kulkarni desecrating
00:23the memorial's entrance signage while a woman, believed to be his wife Sneha Amol Kulkarni,
00:28stood nearby, filming on her phone. The footage was shared with members of the Maratha Seva
00:33Sang, who immediately alerted Bhatti Vidyapit police. Senior Inspector Savallaram Salgonkar
00:38confirmed that Kulkarni was taken into custody for questioning. We are investigating his motive,
00:45especially since this happened at such an odd hour, he said. According to the complainant,
00:50Nainat Tukaram Amrale, two vehicles were parked near the entrance when the act occurred. When
00:54confronted, Kulkarni allegedly said arrogantly, do whatever you want, further provoking locals
01:00who demanded strict legal action. An FI has been registered against both Amol and Sneha
01:04Kulkarni under sections related to hurting religious sentiments. Assistant Police Inspector
01:09Mithun Pardeshi is leading the investigation. The act has drawn fierce condemnation from across
01:14Maharashtra, with many viewing it as a grave insult to the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
01:20and the pride of the Maratha community.
