Pune: A case against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray was registered on Tuesday at Rajgarh Police station in Pune after his party workers vandalised toll booths across the state.
Mumbai Police Commissioner, Satyapal Singh said, "We are going through Raj Thackeray's speech and if we find anything inappropriate, we will take appropriate action."
The party, however, remained defiant and Raj Thackeray's wife even felicitated party workers who took part in vandalism.
Earlier in the day, Mumbai Police detained 25 MNS workers for vandalising Bandra Worli sea link. The move came a day after MLA Pravin Darekar and 71 other workers were arrested on Monday for vandalising a toll booth in Dahisar. The MNS workers were charged with sections of arson, riot, damage to public property.
The violence followed after party supremo Raj Thackeray asked his workers not to pay fee at the toll plazas even if it required resorting to violence. "I am instructing all MNS workers, colleagues and people not to pay toll at any toll booth in Maharashtra from now on. If someone opposes you, fight with them," Thackeray had said.
