Shiv Sena leader Meenakshi Shinde has filed a police complaint after an audio clip allegedly containing derogatory remarks against the Agri community went viral. Shinde, a candidate in the Thane Municipal Corporation polls, denies making the remarks, suggesting the clip may be manipulated or AI-generated. She claims political opponents are trying to defame her due to fear of losing the elections. Local leaders and community activists have condemned the alleged remarks and demanded action, with Shiv Sena (UBT) also distancing itself and calling for a probe.
