A woman has accused three members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) of assaulting her. The three accused MNS party workers have been identified as Vinod Argile, Raju Argile and Satish Lad.
Following the complaint filed by the woman, Maharashtra Police detained the accused. They have been sent to Taloja jail in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai until September 9. The three accused were arrested and produced before a magistrate.

On Sunday, Nagpada Police Station filed a preventive action application against the three accused. Stating that the accused could cause law and order issues amid Ganpati festivities, they were sent to jail.
