Violent clashes broke out between activists of the ruling Shiv Sena and its youth outfit Yuva Sena and BJP workers outside Union Minister Narayan Rane's residence in Mumbai.
Narayan Rane was arrested by Nashik police for his slap remark against CM Uddhav Thackeray. He was released on bail from Mahad nine hours after his arrest.
Shiv Sena workers are furious over Narayan Rane's objectionable remarks against Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray.
A group of Shiv Sena workers also pelted stones at the BJP office in Nashik and chanted slogans against Narayan Rane.
Later, police had to act against and prevent a few Sena supporters from running towards Rane’s house, even as BJP workers tried to force themselves in.
Narayan Rane's son Nitesh Rane had earlier claimed on Twitter that Yuva Sena leaders were planning to create chaos and violence outside their Juhu residence. However, Yuva Sena leader Varun Sardesai has said that they are angry over insulting remarks made by Narayan Rane for CM Uddhav Thackeray but they have not asked the activists to gather and protest, the leaders have come on their own.
The Pune Police and Nashik cyber police have also registered FIRs following a complaint by Yuva Sena, for using objectionable language against Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray.
During his Jan Ashirvad Yatra in Raigad Union minister Narayan Rane said that he wants to “give a tight slap” to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray as the latter allegedly forgot the year when Indian got independence during his August 15 address to citizens.
Rane had remarked, “It is shameful that the chief minister does not know the year of independence. He leaned back to enquire about the count of years of independence during his speech. Had I been there, I would have given him a tight slap".
The Mumbai Police stated that the clashes were brought under control and no untoward incident took place during the disturbance.
