The incident took place at 7pm on Saturday when Shinde inaugurated a pedestrian bridge at Shyam Narayan Thakur Chowk. The bridge is near a selfie point – “I Love Kandivali” – inaugurated by Aditya Thackeray.

“The selfie point had Thackeray’s name engraved on it,” said a police officer. “However, the name had been covered by a cloth by Shiv Sena members to avoid political chaos.”

“Before Shinde’s arrival, Uddhav Thackeray faction members gathered at the spot and began shouting slogans to remove the cloth,” added the officer.

The Samta Nagar police officers, who were on patrolling duty, saw the protest by Bhoir and others and booked them under sections 188, 141 and 143 of the Indian Penal Code.
