Ex Mumbai Mayor, Vishwas Mahadeshwar has been reportedly arrested by the Mumbai Police. The arrest comes after the official complaint made by Kirit Somaiya. Kirit Somaiya was being allegedly attacked by 100’s of Shiv Sena workers.
Stones were pelted at BJP leader Somaiya’s car on Saturday when he went to Khar police station to meet the MP-MLA couple Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana, who was taken into custody in the Hanuman Chalisa row. Somaiya accused ‘100 Shiv Sena dacoits of pelting stones at his car. Maharashtra Home minister Dilip Walse Patel on Sunday confirmed that stones were pelted at the BJP leader’s vehicle, adding that a case had been registered.
The ex-Mayor and three others were nabbed today hours after a Somaiya-led BJP delegation met Union Home ministry officials, including Minister of State (Home) Nityanand Rai and Home secretary Ajay Bhalla to apprise them of Saturday’s stone-pelting incident. “Nityanand Rai assured BJP Delegation to take appropriate steps to Stop Abuse of Power & Assault,” Somaiya posted on Twitter after the meeting.
