MUMBAI, Aug 28 : Cases will be registered against every person involved in the clash between Shiv Sena (UBT) workers and BJP MP Narayan Rane’s supporters at Rajkot Fort in Sindhudurg district, a senior police official said on Wednesday evening.
The site in Malvan, around 480 km from Mumbai, where a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj collapsed two days back, turned into a battleground for Shiv Sena (UBT) workers and Narayan Rane’s supporters earlier in the day.
The clash was triggered by near-simultaneous arrivals of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and his family’s arch political rival and Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg MP Rane. A police constable was injured in stone-pelting.
“We are examining CCTV footage. We will identify everyone involved in the riot and take action,” the senior police official said late at night. (PTI)
