A suicide note found near his body said he was ending his life for the sake of the Maratha reservation, and the white shirt Kawale was wearing also had a message making this demand, the official informed.
“He was an active member of the Maratha Kranti Morcha, which has been seeking quota for the community, and attended all 58 rallies organized over this demand,” he said.
On being alerted, Kherwadi police arrived at the site and sent the body for post-mortem at civic-run Sion hospital, he added.
