MUMBAI: The Mumbai police on Wednesday arrested Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former city mayor Datta Dalvi for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde. A court later remanded him in 14-day judicial custody.
Dalvi sought bail, claiming that he was “innocent and falsely implicated”. The application will be heard on Thursday.
“During a probe, the police found that a meeting was organised on Sunday by Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena in Bhandup, where Dalvi allegedly made some objectionable remarks against Shinde,” a police official said.
Meanwhile, unidentified persons attacked Dalvi’s car parked outside his house in Kannamwar Nagar in Vikhroli on Wednesday afternoon.
