ControversiesRemoving the doors of a women's toilet
In December 2021, a judicial magistrate court ordered an FIR against Murlidhar Mohol and three others for allegedly removing the doors of a women's toilet in the Paud Phata area of Kothrud. Murlidhar was accused of forcing the residents of the area to leave their homes and move to other places by breaking and removing the doors of women's restrooms. However, the court later put a stay on the FIR after Murlidhar presented his side before the court through his lawyer. [1]Hindustan Times

Accused of biasness
In 2021, during Murlidhar's tenure as Mayor of Pune Municipal Corporation, he was accused of giving promotion to his own workers despite not meeting the criteria. The opposition parties claimed that out of 40 candidates eligible for promotion, education certificates of 17 workers were found suspicious. After the controversy, all the promotions were put on hold and an inquiry was set up on the case. [2]Pune Mirror
