Hinjawadi IT Employee Questions Detention During CM Visit

Hinjawadi, 4th September 2026: An IT employee from Hinjawadi has spoken out after being detained by Hinjawadi Police during Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ visit, questioning the action taken against employees raising concerns about the area.

In a video shared on social media, the employee says that those affected by such action should not be considered “anti-national” and stresses that they love and respect their country.

The employee says that the concerns being raised by IT workers are about improving the situation in Hinjawadi and making everyday life easier for those working in the area.

“We want what’s best for the country, we don’t want the situation to deteriorate so much so that we have to go abroad to work. Our concerns are only to ease the situation in Hinjawadi, but instead of conversation, you (the authorities) are bent on detaining us,” he says in the video.

The employee also questions why authorities are resorting to detention instead of having a conversation with those raising concerns.

The video comes amid continuing concerns among Hinjawadi’s IT workforce over the area’s infrastructure and everyday commuting difficulties. Employees have been raising issues related to traffic, roads and other civic facilities in the rapidly growing IT hub.

The incident has led to discussions among IT employees and residents over the need for peaceful dialogue between authorities and citizens, particularly when concerns relate to basic civic infrastructure and everyday difficulties.

At the same time, security arrangements are routinely put in place during visits by senior political leaders. The incident has raised questions over how such security measures can be balanced with allowing employees and residents to voice their concerns.

The employee’s comments about being “anti-national” are part of his statement in the video.

The video has since drawn attention online, with the discussion centred on whether people raising concerns about their local infrastructure should be met with detention or given an opportunity to communicate their grievances to the authorities.
