Pune witnessed an exciting and intense day of wrestling as Pruthviraj Mohol emerged as the champion of the 67th Maharashtra Kesari competition held in Ahilyanagar. In a thrilling final match, Mohol defeated Mahendra Gaikwad to claim the prestigious title and the silver mace.
The event was graced by several dignitaries including Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Union Minister Muralidhar Mohol, Minister Dattatray Bharne, Legislative Council Chairman Ram Shinde, and Water Resources Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, who all presented Mohol with the silver mace and a brand-new Thar vehicle as a token of appreciation for his victory.
