Police on Friday said that a teenage boy`s alleged act of putting social media status message glorifying Mughal emperor Aurangzeb has triggered tension in Ashti town of Maharashtra`s Beed district, with some Hindutva organisations giving a "bandh" call, reported PTI.

Commercial establishments in the market area of Ashti, located around 80 km from Beed district headquarters, are shut in response to the `bandh` call, they said.
This comes against the backdrop of some youths displaying photos of 17th century Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in a procession in Ahmednagar and tension in Kolhapur city on Wednesday over the alleged use of 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan`s image along with an objectionable audio message as social media "status" by some locals.
