Though the exact reason for the skirmish is yet to be ascertained, sources said it was triggered because both parties claimed credit for organising a COVID-19 vaccination drive. The health department had organised a COVID-19 vaccination drive at a school under Kadamwakvasti gram panchayat limits. Around 11 am, a verbal duel broke out between Gauri and Sujit, which later snowballed into a physical brawl.

Apart from Gauri, a case of non-cognisable offence has been filed against her supporters Avinash Badade, Sachin Arvind Kalbhor and Mahesh Dnyaneshwar Kalbhor.
