The Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab and four others for allegedly assaulting and threatening a civic engineer. The incident happened when Parab led a morcha in the BMC’s H-East ward to protest the demolition of a party office in suburban Bandra last week. The delegation led by Parab reached the BMC’s office to meet H-East ward officer Swapna Kshirsagar. The police took action against Parab and four others after the engineer lodged a complaint against them.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader previously served as Maharashtra’s Cabinet Minister before becoming an MLC. The party’s protest comes after the BMC demolished their office, claiming it violated construction regulations.
The incident has raised concerns about the increasing number of attacks on civic employees who are trying to enforce laws and regulations. Such incidents highlight the need for stringent measures against those who use violence to assert their demands.
The Mumbai Police’s decision to file the FIR demonstrates that they are taking these incidents seriously and are willing to take action against those accused of assault. It sends a clear message that acts of violence against public servants will not be tolerated.
The incident has created a ripple effect, with many criticizing the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader’s violent actions and calling for civil discourse and peaceful protests. Some have also expressed disappointment with the party’s behavior, citing it as an example of the political class’s violent tendencies.
The Shiv Sena has not yet issued a statement about the incident, and it remains to be seen what action they will take against Parab and the other accused. The police will continue to investigate the allegations and take any necessary action to ensure the safety and security of civic employees.
