Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) workers on Tuesday threw crabs outside the residence of Maharashtra Water Conservation Minister Tanaji Sawant, protesting the latter's statement that the breach in the Tiware dam in Ratnagiri district, which claimed 18 lives, was caused by the sea animal.
In a video shared by news agency ANI, NCP supporters can be seen carrying a crate containing crabs. Throwing the crate on the floor, the supporters then let the crabs spread all over.

An NCP leader had on Friday handed over a few crabs to the police in Thane after Sawant's claim.
NCP workers led by party general secretary Jitendra Awhad walked into the Naupada police station with crabs in hand and urged the cops to "arrest" them.
