A 25-year-old man puts 300 banners and hoarding across the Pimpri-Chinchwad area near Pune, Maharashtra apparently to apologise to his girlfriend after a tiff. Nilesh Khedekar who is a local businessman, placed the banners which read the message ‘Shivde, I am sorry’ along with a heart.
While the city might have gone ‘aww’ to the act but this riled the local Wakad police and they reached out to the Pimpri Chinchwad civic body to initiate action as per rules dealing with illegal hoardings and defacement of public property.

A Wakad police official said that investigations into the matter started soon after they were alerted to the hoardings on Friday.
“We managed to zero in on his friend Vilas Shinde who had helped Khedekar get the flex hoardings printed. Through him, we traced Khedekar who is the brain behind this act,” the official said.
He informed that Khedekar wanted to apologise and make up with his girlfriend after a quarrel and, therefore, came up with this “creative” idea.
