Will Raj Thackeray be arrested today?

January 30, 2014 10:30

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray will on Thursday appear before a court in Pune in connection with the recent attacks on toll booths.

Thackeray is currently on way to Pune from Mumbai, and there is speculation that the MNS chief could be arrested in connection with the case lodged against him.

Two case were registered against Thackeray on Wednesday for allegedly inciting violence and engendering public peace.

The cases were lodged after MNS workers vandalised toll booths in the state on Tuesday, after Thackeray issued a diktat not to pay the road levy. The MNS chief had even said that those who raise a voice against his diktat should be thrashed.

The first case was registered with Rajgad police station in Bhor taluka against Thackeray for damage to the toll collection centre at Khed-Shivapur on Pune-Satara Road.

A similar offence was registered with Loni Kalbhor police where another toll booth was vandalised by MNS activists.
