A woman, reportedly a Shiv Sena worker, poured ink on a man in Beed after he put up a post criticisng Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

This comes just days after a Mumbai-based pharmacist was assaulted and his head forcibly shaved in public by Shiv Sena workers for sharing an anti-Thackeray comment through his Facebook account.

In the video shared by ANI, the man is seen talking on the phone, while the woman pours ink on him. The man does not retaliate, but continues talking on call.

Last week, Hiramani Tiwari had said that Shiv Sena workers came to his house and took him out and assaulted him. "They shaved my head publicly with around 15-20 people present and someone was recording a video of it," Tiwari had said.

After the incident, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray took to social media and asked them to ignore trolls and not take law and order in their hands.

Aaditya said the trolls were "frustrated because their irrational voice isn't heard by the country, and their behaviour has been rejected by democratic India in recent elections."

He asked the workers to behave in a calm and composed way. "I say, let's follow our CM. Calm, composed, aggressive about delivering promises and serving the people. Let's win people, trolls lose anyway," he wrote.
