In a video message posted on Twitter, he said “The letter clearly warns of possible violent protest at silver oak and other places. Was he (Patil) was sleeping? Action has been taken against the senior PI of Gamdevi Police station then why not against patil.”
एसटी कर्मचाऱ्यांचे आंदोलन सिल्व्हर ओक किंवा मातोश्रीवर होऊ शकते असे पत्र लिहून चमकेश@vishwasnp यांना 4एप्रिलला इशारा देण्यात आला होता. इशारा मिळून सुद्धा कायदा सुव्यवस्थेला टांगत ठेवत झोपा काढणाऱ्या बेजबाबदार पोलीस सहआयुक्तावर कडक कारवाई झालीच पाहिजे.@CMOMaharashtra @Dwalsepatil pic.twitter.com/soofjoVvIC

The letter mentioned that possible protests may be carried out on April 4 at Mantralaya, April 5 at Silver Oak, Matoshree Bungalow, High Court, Residence of Transport Minister in Bandra. It also warned that protesters may start rail roko aandolan and asked for adequate security arrangements at Mulund and Vashi toll Naka.
The Gamdevi Police later arrested 110 protestors and 109 protestors were employees of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC).
Soon after the April 8 attacks at Pawar's home, Home Minister Dilip Walse-Patil announced a probe into the incident that sparked a furor in political circles and embarrassed the Maha Vikas Aghadi government of Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress.
Transport Minister Anil Parab on Sunday said that those employees who were part of the attacks would be dismissed from service.
Several NCP leaders like Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Bharatiya Janata Party Leaders of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis and Pravin Darekar had slammed the attacks and blamed the Mumbai Police and its failure of intelligence to take timely preventive measures.
Pointing fingers at the BJP, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said it was not an agitation but a well-planned attack on the Pawar family while Housing Minister Dr Jitendra Awhad said that the sinister intention was to inflict bodily harm to the NCP supremo.
Around 110 persons including the MSRTC employees lawyer Gunratan Sadavarte were arrested in connection with the incident.
