A non-cognisable case has been filed against Shiv Sena MLA Santosh Bangar following a viral video incident. The video purportedly depicts Bangar promising financial incentives to outstation voters via online platforms if they traveled to cast their votes in his Maharashtra constituency.

This legal action took place in Hingoli district after the video was shared by regional news channels. Electoral authorities prompted Bangar to provide an explanation, which he reportedly submitted last week.

As elections loom on November 20 for the state assembly, this case highlights heightened political tensions. Bangar, elected in 2019, is associated with the Shiv Sena faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde after the party split.
