A private vehicle belonging to Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Hasan Mushrif was allegedly vandalised by three unknown people near Aamdar Niwas in Mumbai’s Colaba around 8 am Wednesday, the police said.

“The NCP leader was at his Cuffe Parade home and the driver had parked the car outside Aamdar Niwas and was resting inside when the incident took place,” said an officer.

The three people were detained at the spot by the personnel deputed near Aamdar Niwas, following which they were taken to the police station.

“Our investigation is underway. It appears that it is related to the Maratha reservation protest. We will take appropriate legal action against the three miscreants,” said a police officer.

Speaking to the media, Mushrif said, “I understand the sentiments of protesters demanding Maratha reservation. Even if they targeted me, I am with them and support their demand.”

“I urge the police to let these people go. I was not inside the car. To all my followers, I would like to say that I am fine, and they don’t need to worry. The state government is sincerely pursuing the reservation issue.”
