ABVP Pune strongly opposed the offensive play, shared the video on social media, and asserted that they would not tolerate such disrespectful depictions of Hindu deities. They demanded action against those responsible for hurting Hindu religious sentiments, emphasizing the need for sensitivity and respect towards Hindu beliefs and deities.
Suresh Bhosale from the SPPU security department stated that the university authorities were not given any prior intimation about the play. They discovered the incident only after it occurred. This lack of communication raises questions about the screening and approval processes for such events within the university.
Both parties involved have filed cross-complaints at the Chatuhshrungi police station. The police are currently recording statements from both groups. There is a possibility of an FIR being lodged against the organizers of the play for hurting Hindu religious sentiments.
