In Pune, lovestruck man puts up 300 hoardings to say 'sorry' to girlfriend

In today's era, many use any of the social media platforms to convey their apologies to their love partners for their mistakes. However, here is a youngster who apologised to his girlfriend 'publicly' by putting up as many as 300 hoardings and banners in the locality where the girl stays. 

The 25-year-old youth spent over Rs 72,000 to cover the skyline in the Pimple Saudagar area of Pimpri Chinchwad. All the 300 hoardings and banners with a white background contained the same message, 'Shivde, I am sorry' with a big red heart in the middle of each hoarding and banner. 

It is not clear if these hoardings had any effect on the girl whom he was apologising but it certainly attracted the attention of the Pimpri Chinchwad municipal corporation authorities as well as the police who have registered a case against the youth for defacing the area by putting up illegal hoardings. 
 
The apologetic youth has been identified as Nilesh Khedekar who is pursuing MBA. Nilesh told the police that he took up the platform of hoardings and banners to convey apology to his girlfriend. "Khedekar told that he had some differences with his girlfriend whom he called 'Shivde'. In order to apologise to her he came up with this idea of putting up hoardings and banners in the area where she stays. Khedekar roped in his friend to execute the plan," a police officer from Wakad police station told DNA. 

Before police actually reached to Khedekar, the hoardings and banners baffled the citizens of Pimple Saudagar as nobody knew what these hoardings mean. "When we received some complaints that some illegal hoardings have been put up, we started inquiring. We visited number of flex printing firms and from one of those firms, we got a contact of a person. The person was identified as Vilas Shinde who turned out to be the friend of Khedekar. Shinde told us that Khedekar had given him the task to put up those hoardings and banners," the officer said. 

The hoardings have also alerted the PCMC officials who are in a process of penalising Khedekar for defacing the locality in attempt to convey apology to his friend.
