An irate mob attacked the vehicle of BJP activist Mohit Kamboj-Bharatiya near the the Bandra East private home of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Accusing that the Shiv Sena was behind the attack, the BJP on Saturday demanded a probe by the the Maha Vikas Aghadi government into the incident that occurred on Friday night.

In a statement, Kamboj claimed that when his car stopped near the Kalanagar junction, a mob of around 200 people suddenly surrounded and pounced on his car.

“Some police jawans rushed there and rescued me. They also controlled the mob to save me… I thank them,” Kamboj said, adding that he was waylaid whe returning from a marriage.

The Kalanagar junction is a stone’s throw away from the Thackeray’s home, Matoshri, in a high security zone.

Kamboj vowed that he would not be cowed down and continue exposing the MVA leaders.

A huge posse of police has been deployed at Thackeray’s home with a large number is Shiv Sainiks also camping there since Friday morning, to counter plans by Independent MP Navneet Rana and her husband MLA Ravi Rana to recite Hanuman Chalisa at ‘Matoshri’ on Saturday.

The Mumbai Police have served a notice to the Rana couple and also guarding their home in Khar.

Meanwhile, Leaders of Opposition (Assembly) Devendra Fadnavis and (Council) Pravin Darekar have condemned the Kamboj incident.

“There appears to be a trend of carrying out attacks on people who speak against the (MVA) government,” said Fadnavis.

“It is unfortunate, such an incident happening here,” said Darekar, even as other BJP leaders like Sunil Deodhar, Mumbai North-East MP Manoj Kotak and others slammed the MVA government.

Countering, Sena leaders claimed that Kamboj had gone there to carry out a ‘recce’ before the Rana couple’s threat to land at ‘Matoshri’ and recite the Hanuman Chalisa.

Not taking chances, top police officials led by Joint Commissioner of Police Vishwas Nagre-Patil reviewed the security arrangements there and other parts of Mumbai.

Law and order in the state is broken, demand for exemplary punishment of adulterers on the model of Gulf countries: Abu Asim Azmi

Published

Mumbai: The Pune Special Court today delivered its historic verdict in the Nasrapur rape and murder case under Bhor taluka of Pune district on June 29, 2026. The court has sentenced 65-year-old accused Bhimrao Prabhakar Kamble to death by hanging, considering this atrocity a major case. After this highly sensitive and major verdict, senior Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi raised serious questions about the current law and order situation in the state when asked questions by journalists in the Vidhan Bhawan area during the monsoon session. He said that there has been a huge increase in serious incidents like violence against women, rape, loot and murder in the state, due to which the law and order situation has become extremely worrying. Welcoming the Pune court’s verdict and expressing deep concern over the issue of women’s safety, MLA Abu Azmi said that immediate action should be taken against the accused of such serious crimes. Talking about the delay in the justice system, he gave the example of Gulf countries and said that in our country, cases are pending for years, on the contrary, in Gulf countries, the accused are sent to jail within four days and after paying a heavy fine, they are directly sent out of the country. In our country, the punishment for inhuman acts like rape and murder should be death only. He stressed that if 10 to 15 criminals are hanged immediately without any delay, then fear of law will be created among such criminals and incidents will be controlled. Directly targeting the security system and functioning of the police in Mumbai, MLA Azmi made serious allegations of corruption and negligence. He said that he himself has caught police personnel red-handed and has also shown strong evidence and photographs of it. He further said that a ‘police bat’ has been set up for the security of the city, but the police personnel are not present at any post and when asked, the excuse of shortage of staff is made. Expressing his anger, he said that if the government and police administration perform their duties responsibly, not a single person in the state can buy or sell drugs, but the current government is not committed to it. Expressing concern over the spread of drugs and drug networks in the state, he said that it is completely ruining our young generation. Earlier, the Chief Minister had promised to create an ‘anti-drug zone’ under every police station, but no concrete action is seen on this. The alarm bell is that the fear of law has disappeared and even minor disputes are leading to open attacks and assaults on the streets. At the end of the press conference, he mentioned a suspect caught in the backdrop of Muharram from whom 15,000 banned poisonous pills were recovered. Abu Asim Azmi demanded that the government conduct a thorough investigation into the entire matter and take strict action against whoever is found guilty.

Expressing concern over the growing trend of drug abuse among the youth, he said that the administration and the police have completely failed to control it. He urged the police administration to expose the big conspiracy behind the accused being caught with suspicious chemicals (like rat poison or toxic substances) during Muharram or on any other occasion.
