The Mumbai Police on Friday registered a case of rioting and illegal assembly against 50 odd people after the activists of the two factions of Shiv Sena led by CM Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray clashed in Shivaji Park area in central Mumbai.
According to the police, the incident took place late on Thursday near the memorial of late party founder Bal Thackeray after people belonging to both the factions arrived to pay tribute on Thackeray’s 11th death anniversary.
The incident took place after Chief Minister Eknath Shinde left the venue after paying homage.
“Our only focus then was to control the situation and disperse the crowd. We managed to do that on Thursday night. However, we then checked the CCTV footage and other videos of the incident following which we decided to register a case against 50-60 unknown persons,” said a senior police officer. “We will try and identify the suspects after which teams will be dispatched to arrest them,” another officer said.
