Maharashtra is bracing for unrest and protests in several parts following Monday's deadly violence that hit a Dalit celebration and which left a 28-year-old man dead.

The violence, which took place during the 200th anniversary celebrations of the of the Koregaon-Bhima battle, saw Mumbai, Pune and Aurangabad get paralysed as Dalit groups took to the streets to protest Monday's death.

Buses were vandalised, stones were pelted and shops were shut as the Bhima Koregaon violence took a slightly political turn with politicians of all colour commenting on Monday's riots or its aftermath.

Dalit groups, including activist and grandson of icon BR Ambedkar, Prakash, called for a state-wide bandh today. Will Maharashtra see a repeat of what was seen in Mumbai and Pune yesterday?

LIVE UPDATES:

8:35 AM: Visuals from Chembur, a Mumbai suburb worst-hit during the protests yesterday, show shops shuttered shut. But it must be noted that it is still early in the morning and the situation could change in the next few hours.
