February 27, 2013
Six MNS workers arrested for rioting and breach of public peace. Two cases have been registered. MNS workers had blocked the Mumbai-Pune Expressway at Vashi, in suburban Mumbai.
Tension
brewed in parts of Mumbai and adjoining Thane districts today following
yesterday's incident of stone pelting on Raj Thackeray's convoy by
alleged NCP workers in Ahmednagar district, with MNS supporters
attacking NCP office in Ambernath and calling a bandh.
Angry MNS workers burnt effigies of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and blackened his posters in some parts of the city.
Incidents
of stone throwing were also reported from city suburbs including
Chembur, Kurla and Bandra, police said. In Thane's Ambernath, MNS
workers attacked NCP office and tried to enforce a bandh today.
NCP activists were furious at Thackeray's criticism of Pawar, nephew of party supremo Sharad Pawar.
