NCP Women Activists Protest Against Ketaki Chitale, Hit Her Posters With Sandals

The actor is faced with at least six cases in five districts of Maharashtra. On Monday, women activists were seen protesting by hitting Ketki’s photo with their sandals and slippers.

Several NCP activists directed their fury toward Ketaki Chitale by saying that she should be admitted to a mental asylum and that the cost of her treatment will be borne by the Nationalist Congress Party.
