“Garlands Instead of Anger”: Matin Patel’s Family Welcomes Officials Amid Demolition, Calls Action Unjust. In a dramatic development in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), demolition action was carried out by civic authorities at properties linked to AIMIM corporator Matin Patel, triggering political debate and public reaction across the city. Supporters and family members of Patel termed the action “unethical” and alleged that the administration acted under pressure while the related matter connected to the Nida Khan case is still under judicial consideration. What drew major public attention was the unusual response from Patel’s family during the operation. Instead of confrontation, family members welcomed civic and police officials with flower garlands and bouquets, stating that they wanted to peacefully protest what they described as selective targeting and misuse of power. Videos from the spot quickly circulated on social media, sparking mixed reactions from citizens and political circles. #theveracitynews #aimim #aurangabad #tcs #maharashtra
